The Mailbox
The mailbox shows you messages that are sent—or “mailed”—from
your program providers. For example, you may receive a message
calling your attention to a new service.
How to tell when you have mail
There are two ways to tell if you have mail, depending on whether the
DSS
® receiver is turned on or off.
• If the DSS ® receiver is turned on, the mail icon in the channel
banner is highlighted.
• If the DSS ® receiver is turned off, the power light on the front panel
of the receiver flashes.
Checking your mail
Select Mailbox on the Main menu or channel banner to view your
mail.
1. Point to a message and press MENU•SELECT. The message is
opened for you to read.
Mail provides the latest information from program
providers.
2. Press MENU•SELECT again to close the letter.
After you read a message and want to erase it, point to Erase
Message and press MENU•SELECT. When you exit the display
screen, messages not erased are saved in memory.
