Why Connect to a Phone Line
Solar Interference
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind
the DISH Network satellite as it
orbits the Earth. This event occurs during a few
days at the beginning of the spring
and the beginning of the autumn and lasts only a
few minutes.
During these brief periods, you will not be able to
see programs on DISH Network.
When the sun has moved from behind the
satellite, the programs will reappear. This is
an unavoidable natural event for all television
involving the use of satellites and has an adverse
effect on many program providers.

Your satellite receiver is equipped with a standard telephone jack that you use to connect
to an active telephone line. Keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line so
that you will be able to order pay-per-view programs using your remote control, use all of
the dish home Interactive TV features, and other services from DISH Network (see the
instructions on page 105).

resume watching satellite TV programming. Make sure you are using the correct remote
