These parts are inside of or attached to your house.
Satellite Dish Antenna Picks up the satellite’s coded program information and relays it to your receiver.
(Your satellite dish may be installed in different locations on or around your house. The satellite dish antenna
must, however, be pointed in a southern direction toward the satellite.)
Digital Satellite Receiver Receives the TV program information and sends it to your TV or VCR.
Telephone Jack Connects to the phone jack on the back of the receiver. The receiver uses a toll-free number
once a month to update your access card. This update only takes a few seconds and ensures that you will have
continuous service. The system automatically hangs up if you pick up the phone when the receiver is calling
out.
Television If your television is remote controllable, you can program the remote to change channels and
volume.
Remote (included with your satellite system) Controls the system as well as most remote controllable TVs.
Point the remote at the device you want to control.
Access Card (installed in receiver) Must be inserted for you to use the system! Provides system security and
authorization of program services. Do not remove the card except when issued a new card as a replacement for
the original.
