Check Mail
The CHECK MAIL feature of your digital satellite receiver enables service providers to notify you
about important information, upcoming special events, offers, and
other promotional programming.
When new messages are received, a “new mail” icon appears at the
top of all menu screens. This indicator will remain on the menus
until you have read the new message.
When you highlight the Check Mail button, the advisory message at
the bottom of the screen indicates if there are any messages to read.
If there are, you can press
to access the CHECK MAIL
screen.
