Warning and Attention Symbols

You must be aware of safety when you install and use this system. This User Guide provides various procedures. If you do some of these procedures carelessly, you could injure or kill yourself or damage equipment or property. Some other procedures require special attention.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

For Your Safety

Do not try to open the case of the receiver. There is risk of electrical shock, which may cause damage to the receiver and/or personal injury or death to you. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the receiver. Opening the receiver case or making unauthorized changes will void the warranty.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

Important Software Notice

As with all software controlled products, unexpected behavior could arise if the user tries to perform operations in a nonroutine manner. This product, like almost any other high tech product, is subject to bugs and hence EchoStar CANNOT

AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THAT ALL FEATURES, SUCH AS PARENTAL CONTROL, WILL WORK

AS INTENDED UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. EchoStar endeavors to improve such conditions and will periodically download improvements.

Important Safety Instructions

1 Read these instructions.

2 Keep these instructions.

3 Heed all warnings.

4 Follow all instructions.

5 Do not use this apparatus near water.

6 Clean only with a dry cloth.

7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11 Only use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12 Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

13 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

14 The power plug must be readily accessible so that the apparatus can be easily disconnected from the AC power.

v

Safety

15 The receiver is still connected to the AC power whenever it is plugged into a live power outlet, even if it is turned off using the remote control or front panel buttons.

16 No flame sources, such as lit candles, should be placed on the equipment.

17 The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the top of it.

18 Operate the receiver using only the type of power source indicated on the marking label.

Unplug the receiver power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord.

19 Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords; this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

20 Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings, as the objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause fire or electrical shock.

21 Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.

22 Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and will void the Limited Warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.

23 Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.

24 Do not place the receiver in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper ventilation.

25 Do not install the receiver in any area where the temperature can be less than 40°F or more than 113°F. If the receiver is cold to the touch, do not plug it in immediately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes before plugging it in.

26 Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. During an electrical storm or when the receiver is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect the lines between the receiver and the antenna, and disconnect the telephone line. These actions provide additional protection against damage caused by lightning or power line surges.

27 Tighten all of the coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use a wrench, you may overtighten the connections and damage your equipment. Damage caused by overtightening is not covered by the Limited Warranty.

CAUTION —To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

vi

Safety

Proper Care of Your Equipment

• Always handle the satellite receiver carefully. Excessive shock and vibration can damage the hard drive.

• If the equipment is turned on and needs to be moved, unplug the equipemnt and let it sit for at least 30 seconds before moving it.

• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver manufacturer voids the Limited Warranty.

• Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic devices as this can cause heat build-up and vibration.

On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods of time may cause them to be permanently imprinted on the screen. Consult your TV user guide for information on whether this is a problem for your TV, what operating/ viewing restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and associated TV warranty coverage.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the antenna assembly.

• Increase the separation between the equipment.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the DISH receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Note to Satellite TV System Installer : This reminder is provided to call the satellite TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical .

Additional Services

A DDITIONAL S ERVICES

Pay-Per-View

Catch all the action on Pay-Per-View. Take a break from regular TV and order the latest movies, sports, and special events. Be sure to connect an active phone line or broadband

Internet connection to your receiver before you order a Pay-Per-View event.

DishHOME

On DishHOME (press DISH on your remote control), you’ll find news, sports, weather information, TV and movie buzz, customer service, games, and more.

A BOUT S ATELLITE TV R ECEPTION

Satellite television uses satellites in a stationary orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio programming. This type of orbit enables the satellites to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the Earth. Once the satellite dish is aimed at the satellite, the dish does not have to move to follow it.

Rain and Snow Fade

Heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can reduce the satellite signal, which may interrupt your programming service. Your service will return after the weather condition has passed. Aiming the satellite dish to get the strongest signal during installation will help prevent rain and snow from interrupting the signal.

Solar Interference

Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind the DISH satellites as they orbit 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. When the sun has moved from behind the satellites, 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.

Introduction

Why Connect to a Phone Line

W HY C ONNECT TO A P HONE L INE

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 are able to order pay-per-view programs using your remote control, use all of the

DishHOME Interactive TV features, and use other services from DISH.

M OVING O N SCREEN L OGO

Whenever the receiver is turned off using the remote control or front panel POWER button, the

DISH logo and helpful tips displays on your TV screen. This feature is included with your receiver to assure you that the connections between your receiver and TV(s) are not lost and also provides useful information about your receiver and its features. Press POWER or SELECT on the remote control to resume watching satellite TV programming.

The moving logo does not display if you have the receiver connected to the TV with the TV

SET OUT connection (see page 85).

Chapter 1

Tips

T IPS

• Always have the latest software —Turn off the receiver when you’re not using it.

• Order Pay-Per-View with your remote control —Keep an active phone line connected to the receiver. Not only will you have Pay-Per-View at your fingertips, but you’ll also avoid unnecessary charges.

Q UESTIONS

• How do I find something to watch?

For more information on finding something to watch, see Chapter 3 - Finding Programs to Watch.

• Why are some of the channels red in the Program Guide?

The channels that are red in the Program Guide are those which are not currently in your subscription. If you’d like to add channels, call 1-800-333-DISH (3474), go to mydish.com/myaccount, or use the Customer Support Application through

DishHOME.

• I’m looking at program information in a guide I bought at the grocery store, but nothing matches what’s on my DISH receiver, is something wrong?

No. DISH programming may vary from what you’ll find in a local publication. For best results, use the Program Guide on your receiver or order DISH Entertainment Magazine.

Remote Control

R EMOTE C ONTROL

The remote control gives you easy access to all the features of your satellite receiver. You can program the remote to control the satellite receiver and up to three other devices (see page 54). These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device.

The remote control uses IR signals to control both the receiver and other devices that the remote is programmed to control.

IR signals travel only short distances (40 feet or less), and cannot go through walls or other solid objects. You must point the remote control directly at the device, with no objects blocking the line of sight.

Remote Control Batteries

The remote control comes with four AAA batteries. When you replace old batteries you should replace all of the batteries at one time and use batteries of the same type (for example, all alkaline or all carbon zinc).

Alkaline batteries last longer.

1 Press down on the top of the battery cover and slide the cover off.

2 Take out all of the old batteries.

3 Put four new batteries in. Make sure you match the plus (“+”) ends with the plus markings on the battery case.

Note : The remote control cannot work with less than four AAA batteries.

4 Slide the cover back into place.

Low Battery Warning

When you see a low battery warning message on your screen below the Program Banner, the batteries in your remote control are weak and need to be replaced.

10

Here's a helpful hint: Don’t wait until you see the low battery warning to change the remote control batteries. If your remote control doesn’t seem to be working very well

(for example, you have to press POWER more than once to turn the receiver on or off), it’s a good indication that the batteries are getting weak.

Using Text Fields

List of Choices in the Menus

When you make a choice in a list, the receiver does not apply the change until you select

Done . If you do not want to save any changes, select CANCEL to discard all the changes made in the menu.

There are two types of lists:

• A single choice list allows you to select only one choice at a time.

If you select another choice, your previous choice is deselected.

• A multiple choice list allows you to select more than one choice at one time. If you select another choice, your previous choice(s) stays selected.

Canceling a Procedure

You can cancel a procedure in any of three ways:

• If you want to return to watching a program, press VIEW LIVE TV.

• If you want to return to the previous menu, press CANCEL.

• Wait a few minutes and the menu will close automatically, discarding any changes you have made.

U SING T EXT F IELDS

When you use features on the receiver, you might be required to enter information, such as the name of a movie when using Search, into areas known as text fields. Your receiver has two basic ways to enter the information:

• On-screen keyboard

• Remote control NUMBER PAD

16


Using Text Fields

Using the On-screen Keyboard

Use the on-screen keyboard letters to type the information.

Use the LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN ARROWS to navigate around the keyboard. Select the characters you want.

Using the Number Pad

Use the letters above the NUMBER PAD on the remote control while the highlight is in the field. For example, when looking for the channel and times to watch Rudy Presents, you press 7 three times for an R, 8 two times for a U, 3 one time for a D, and 9 three times for a Y to spell the word

“Rudy.”

While in the Text Field

When the cursor is in the field:

• Press the LEFT ARROW to delete characters.

• Press 0 to enter a blank space, such as between words.

• Press STAR to backspace without deleting characters.

• Use the RIGHT ARROW to forward space without deleting characters.

17

What are Favorites Lists?

W HAT ARE F AVORITES L ISTS ?

Favorites Lists are custom lists of your favorite channels. You can create and change the lists, adding and removing channels as you wish. Your favorite channels can be grouped into up to four lists.

• When using a Favorites List, the Program Guide and Browse Banner display only the channels in that Favorites List. When you use the remote control UP or DOWN

ARROW to change channels, the receiver skips channels that are not on the list.

• The All Chan list contains all the channels, including channels not in your current subscription. You cannot make any changes to the

All Chan

list.

• The My Channels list contains all the channels in your subscription. You cannot make any changes to the My Channels list, except by changing your subscription.

• The My HD Channels list contains all of the HD channels in your subscription, as well as over-the-air digital channels if your receiver is connected to an over-the-air antenna.

• Each Favorites List has a unique color in the Program Guide. You can also give each list a name. The four lists are named List 1, List 2, List 3, and List 4, until you change the name. The lists are empty until you add channels to them.

• If you choose a program using Themes or by entering a channel number using the remote controls, the receiver tunes to the channel for that program whether or not that channel is on the active Favorites List.

• You can include over-the-air channels in your Favorites Lists if an over-the-air antenna is connected to the receiver.

What are Locks?

W HAT ARE L OCKS ?

Locks allow you to password-protect programming based on ratings, or on a channel-bychannel basis. When you have locked the receiver:

• If you try to access a locked item or open the Locks menu, the receiver displays a message prompting you to enter the password.

• The receiver allows you three attempts to enter the correct password. If you fail to enter the correct password, the receiver does not allow you to try again for several minutes.

• If you enter the correct password, you can access the locked item or open the Locks menu.

• If you exit a locked item or close the Locks menu, you must enter the password to access the item again.

Locking the receiver is a two-step process:

1 Create the locks that you want.

• Ratings Locks—locks programs based on ratings.

• Channel Locks—locks channels regardless of content.

• Lock PPV—prevents unauthorized pay-per-view ordering.

• Hide Adult or Hide Locked—hides adult channels or locked channels from being displayed in the Program Guide and other channel lists.

• Front Panel Lock—prevents the front panel buttons from being used.

2 Lock the receiver.

When the receiver is locked, anyone who wants to access locked items must enter the password.

Locks

Creating or Changing Ratings Locks

C REATING OR C HANGING R ATINGS L OCKS

You can lock programs based on Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) ratings

(PG, PG-13, etc.) and expanded ratings (violence, language, etc.).

1 Press MENU and select Locks.

2 If the receiver is locked, enter the password using the NUMBER PAD. Select OK.

3 Select Ratings Locks.

4 Highlight the least restrictive rating that you want to block. Press SELECT to lock the highlighted rating and all ratings more restrictive than it (for example, locking PG-13 automatically locks R and NC-17).

MPAA Ratings

G—General Audiences . A G-rated motion picture contains nothing in theme, language, nudity, sex, violence or other matters that, in the view of the Rating Board, would offend parents whose younger children view the motion picture. The G rating is not a “certificate of approval,” nor does it signify a “children’s” motion picture. Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are present in G-rated motion pictures. Depictions of violence are minimal.

No nudity, sex scenes, or drug use are present in the motion picture.

PG—Parental Guidance Suggested . Some Material May Not Be Suitable For

Children . A PG-rated motion picture should be investigated by parents before they let their younger children attend. The PG rating indicates, in the view of the Rating Board, that parents may consider some material unsuitable for their children, and parents should make that decision. The more mature themes in some PG-rated motion pictures may call for parental guidance. There may be some profanity and some depictions of violence or brief nudity. But these elements are not deemed so intense as to require that parents be strongly cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guidance. There is no drug use content in a PG-rated motion picture.

35

Chapter 6


PG-13—Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate For

Children Under 13 . A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initally requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most

American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.

R—Restricted . Children Under 17 Require Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian. An

R-rated motion picture, in the view of the Rating Board, contains some adult material. An

R-rated motion picture may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated motion pictures unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about R-rated motion pictures in determining their suitability for their children. Generally, it is not appropriate for parents to bring their young children with them to R-rated motion pictures.

NR/AO—Not Rated . Programs created before MPAA rating system have an NR/AO rating. Also, if connection to the satellite is lost, the NR/AO rating appears.

TV Ratings

TV Ratings contain information about the audience and a content label.

TV-Y—All Children . This program is designed to be appropriate for all children. Whether animated or live-action, the themes and elements in this program are specifically designed for a very young audience, including children from ages 2-6. This program is not expected to frighten younger children.

TV-Y7—Directed to Older Children . This program is designed for children age 7 and above. It may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7. Therefore, parents may wish to consider the suitability of this program for their very young children.

TV-Y7-FV —Directed to Older Children - Fantasy Violence. For those programs where fantasy violence may be more intense or more combative than other programs in this category, such programs will be designated TV-Y7-FV.

36

Locks


TV-G—General Audience . Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages.

Although this rating does not signify a program designed specifically for children, most parents may let younger children watch this program unattended. It contains little or no violence, no strong language and little or no sexual dialogue or situations.

TV-PG—Parental Guidance Suggested . This program contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The theme itself may call for parental guidance and/or the program may contain one or more of the following: some suggestive dialogue (D), infrequent coarse language (L), some sexual situations (S), or moderate violence (V).

TV-14—Parents Strongly Cautioned . This program contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch unattended. This program may contain one or more of the following: intensely suggestive dialogue (D), strong coarse language (L), intense sexual situations (S), or intense violence (V).

TV-MA—Mature Audience Only . This program is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17. This program may contain one or more of the following: crude indecent language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic violence (V).

Content Labels —TV Parental Guidelines may have one or more letters added to the basic rating to let parents know when a show may contain violence, sex, adult language, or suggestive dialogue.

D —suggestive dialogue (usually means talks about sex)

L —coarse or crude language

S —sexual situations

V —violence

FV —fantasy violence (children’s programming only)

Timers

T IMERS

A timer is your instruction telling the receiver the programs you want to view in the future.

For most ERD (External Recording Device) or VCR timers, you select a specific program on a specific channel, and tell the receiver how often you want to record that program. Be sure to set up the receiver to control your VCR. If you have an external hard drive connected to the receiver, you have a 9 day Electronic Program Guide and Event Based

Recording. For more information on connecting an external hard drive, see page 70.

Timer Types

There are four types of timers:

• VCR —records an event on a previously inserted tape for later viewing. Make sure you have your VCR connected and turned on when using this type of timer. Also, be sure to set up the receiver to tell the VCR to start/stop recording.

• Auto Tune —automatically changes the channel for live viewing of the event.

• Reminder —creates an on-screen reminder when the event is about to air.

• Ext —automatically changes the channel for live viewing of the event and sends commands to a compatible external device, such as the PocketDISH, which is connected to your receiver’s RCA-type or S-Video outputs. This option is not available unless you enable the feature. See Enabling Record Link. This timer type allows you to record to the external device, instead of recording to the receiver’s hard drive.

Timer Frequency

Deciding how often you want to watch a program will help you make the best choice:

• All Episodes— records each time the selected program airs on that channel.

• New Episodes— records current season programs each time they first occur on that channel.

• Once —records a program once (good for movies, sporting events, or other one-time programs).

• Weekly —records a program once a week, at that time, on that channel.

• Daily —records a program once a day, at that time, on that channel.

• Mon-Fri —records a program once a day, Monday through Friday, at the selected time, on that channel.

1:41

• Press CANCEL to clear the symbol from the TV screen. This does not stop the timer from starting.

• Press INFO or SELECT to see more information on the timer. If you do this, you have the following choices:

– Select OK to continue with the timer.

– Select Stop Timer to stop the timer.

Note: Pressing INFO on the timer reminder only works one time. Subsequently pressing

INFO results in the current program’s information being displayed

Special Considerations When Using Timers

• For Locked Programs —you must enter the receiver password before you can create an automatic timer. You can create a manual timer for a locked program without entering the password. However, if you do this when the timer operates, the receiver may display only an error or password entry menu.

• For Pay-Per-View Programs —you must order a Pay-Per-View program when you create a timer for it.

• For Blacked Out Programs —if you set a timer for a program that is blacked out in your area, when the timer operates the receiver may only display an error.

Reasons Why Timers are Skipped

If a timer is skipped, the reason is stated on the Timers List.

• Priority —this timer had a lower priority than other events being recorded at the time.

• User —a user chose to skip that timer.

• Duplicate event —there is already another timer set to record that program.

• Event exists in DVR —the program was already recorded and can be seen in the

Daily Schedule list.

• Not a new episode —used for New Episode timers. Currently, a New Episode is one that has the current year listed in the Program Guide information.

• Incorrect event —for Weekly, Daily and Monday-Friday timers. If the guide has a different event listed the timer will be skipped. For example, the timer was set up on a

Saturday for Daily, but the program is broadcast only Monday-Friday, so the timer will be skipped on the weekends.

Overlapping Timers

O VERLAPPING T IMERS

If you try to create event timers for overlapping programs, the receiver displays a screen with the dates and times of both programs. The receiver also displays this screen if a program time has changed, causing one timer to overlap another. You must delete or edit one of the timers.

E NABLING R ECORD L INK

Your receiver has a timer feature called Record Link. This feature sends data (audio, video, and other commands) to an external device that you can connect to the receiver’s

RCA-type or S-video outputs. This timer type allows the receiver to tell the external device to start and stop recording, allowing the program to be stored on an external device. To enable Record Link:

O PERATING O THER D EVICES

To use the remote control to operate other devices (such as a TV, VCR, DVD player, tuner, amplifier, or DISH antenna), you must first program it to operate these other devices. You can do this by either following the instructions in Programming Using Device Code Tables or the Programming Using Device Codes Scan procedure.

Remote Control Modes

Use the remote control’s mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver or dish antenna), TV (for a

TV), DVD (for a VCR or a DVD player), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a second TV, a VCR or

DVD, a tuner, an audio amplifier, or a second DISH antenna) to set the remote to the correct mode for the device. To change the mode, press the button for the device you want the remote to operate. The mode button lights for two seconds to show you have set the remote to that mode.

Limited Mode

You can program your remote control in Limited Mode to keep from accidentally changing the channel on your TV or VCR and causing a snowy or blue screen. When the remote control is in Limited Mode for TV mode, you will only be able to use POWER, MUTE, and

SAT Auto-Tune

The SAT Auto-Tune feature, which is enabled by default, sends the correct TV channel for viewing satellite TV when you select the SAT mode button on the remote control.

SAT Auto-Tune can only send a channel to the TV, not an input. Because of this, SAT

Auto-Tune is most useful for TV2. If used for TV1, channel 3 or 4 should be programmed using the steps under Setting SAT Auto-Tune Channel. The TV channel programmed for

SAT Auto-Tune is also the channel that will be sent to the TV if the RECOVER button is used. The steps in Setting SAT Auto-Tune Channel can also be used in VCR mode to program the channel sent to a VCR during the Recover process.

For SAT Auto-Tune to function correctly, the correct channel for the installation must be programmed into the remote using the steps under Setting SAT Auto-Tune Channel.

Learning From Another Device’s Remote

Use this procedure if you are unable to find a code that allows your DISH remote to control your device of if some of the commands are not functioning as you expect after programming your DISH remote to control your device (in TV, DVD, or AUX modes). Use this procedure to have your DISH remote learn the commands of the other device’s remote control.

The remote control can learn commands in one of two ways:

• You can follow the instructions for using device codes to program a specific mode, and then learn commands that add new or overwrite existing functions of the remote control’s buttons in this mode. For this type of learning, any button without a learned command keeps the previous command (if any) for that device code. To progrm a specific mode, use the instructions for Programming Using Device Code Tables on page 59 or Programming Using Device Code Scan on page 60.

or

• Each button on this remote learns a command from the device’s original remote control. For this type of learning, any button without a learned command keeps the previous command (if any) for that device code.

Learning can occur only in TV, DVD, or AUX modes. The Mode buttons (SAT, TV, DVD, and AUX) cannot learn a command. For each Mode button, the POWER button can be learned to turn the devices associated with that Mode on and off.

Note : The TV POWER button turns the TV on and off in all Modes. It cannot be learned.

Note : The remote times out if a button is not pressed within 20 seconds. If the remote times out, then start the learning process over again.

To have the DISH remote control learn specific commends for another dvice, complete the following steps.

1 Ensure the DISH remote control is working with the receiver (see Making the Remote

Work with the Receiver on page 52).

2 Place both the DISH remote and the original device’s remote control on a flat, stable surface. Point the front of the original device’s remote to face the small square (IR window) on the front, left-hand side of the DISH remote, as shown below. The remotes should be no more than 3” apart.

• If you have found a code for the device and programmed it into the remote, press and

release RECALL (the Mode light goes off when RECALL is pressed and comes on when released), then hold the RECORD button until the Mode button is lit again

(about three seconds). The Mode button remains lit while learning.

• If the device code has not been programmed for that device or if you are unable to find a code, press and hold the RECORD button until the Mode button is lit (about three seconds). The Mode button remains lit while learning.

5 On the DISH remote, press and release the button you want the DISH remote to learn from the original device’s remote. The Mode light goes off and comes back on.

6 On the original device’s remote control, press and hold the button you want learned until the Mode light goes out and comes back on. You may need to press and hold the button on the original remote several times before the DISH remote learns the command.

• If the DISH remote learns the command, the Mode light flashes off and then back on.

Connecting an Over-the-Air Antenna

C ONNECTING AN O VER THE -A IR A NTENNA

If you want to receive digital channels from an over-the-air antenna in addition to your dish antenna programming, connect the over-the-air antenna to your receiver.

• The O

VER THE -A IR A NTENNA I N

connection on your receiver's back panel can be used to receive and view programming on the TV from an over-the-air antenna.

• Connect a VHF/UHF over-the-air antenna to the O


port. Peel off the black sticker (found at the beginning of this User’s Guide) and affix it to the cable close to where it connects to the back of the receiver.

• You can add local over-the-air channels to the receiver’s channels lists and assign them network affiliations. Once you have done this, you can access the channels via the Program Guide or the Browse Banner similar to accessing satellite channels.

Note : The type of antenna required depends on the channels used by, and the locations of, the local broadcasters for your area. Visit www.antennaweb.org or contact a professional installer to help you select a suitable antenna.

Make sure to follow the antenna installation instructions correctly. Ground the dish antenna per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any state and local electrical codes.

The audio/video quality on local over-the-air channels depends on the distance and terrain between the broadcast station and your home, and on the placement and quality of the over-the-air TV antenna you use. If you have questions about over-the-air channels, contact the broadcaster, not DISH.

S CANNING FOR O VER THE -A IR C HANNELS

After your over-the-air antenna is adjusted for the best reception and connected to the receiver’s O


connection, use these instructions to scan over-theair channels into the satellite receiver’s menus.

About Over-the-Air TV Broadcasts

Over-the-air TV signals are broadcast by local TV stations from a transmitter tower. You receive over-the-air TV signals using an indoor or outdoor antenna instead of the dish antenna. You are likely familiar with analog over-the-air TV signals - these are the signals that have been used to broadcast TV for many years. New digital over-the-air TV signals are broadcast and received in the same way. Digital over-the-air TV broadcasting uses advanced technology like that of the DISH to deliver superb picture quality and CD quality sound. However, digital over-the-air signal reception (like analog over-the-air signal reception) depends on several things.

• The distance between the broadcast station and your home (the further away the station, the weaker the signal)

• The broadcast station's power (the lower the power, the weaker the signal)

• Obstacles between the station and your home, such as mountains, buildings, trees, or other objects (these may block or reflect the signal before it reaches you)

• Multiple broadcast stations (to receive good signals from several stations, you may need to compromise in how you aim the antenna or you may need more than one antenna)

The effects of poor digital reception are different from the effects of poor analog reception:

• Poor analog reception usually causes the TV picture to be “snowy” or to include

“ghosts,” that is, multiple images caused by receiving reflected signals along with the direct signal from a station. Poor digital reception may cause the TV picture to be

“pixelized,” that is, broken up into small squares of various colors, or to be lost completely (the TV screen is all black or all blue).

• Digital broadcasts often provide either a very good picture or no picture at all.

• You may be able to receive a poor analog signal but not be able to receive a digital signal at all.

To get the best possible digital signal reception, make sure you use the best over-the-air antenna for where you live:

• You can receive a limited number of channels using a rabbit ears type antenna on top of the TV set, or a much larger number via a large UHF/VHF indoor/outdoor antenna.

• The higher the quality of the antenna you use, the greater its range and the better its reception will be.

Digital OTA Broadcasts are Still Developing

• Broadcasters may still be testing digital signals and their strength, and may stop broadcasting without notice, vary power output, or turn it off.

• Some broadcasters do not yet have permanent transmitter tower.

93

Chapter 11


• Broadcasters may choose to multicast, which allows them to provide multiple standard-definition channels in the same bandwidth used to provide a high-definition channel.

• These factors are outside of DISH's control.

Additional Installation Considerations

• Follow local and National Electric Code requirements for grounding the antenna.

• RG-6 coaxial cable is preferred for the O

VER T HE A IR A NTENNA I N

connection. If you are diplexing the O


and S

ATELLITE I N

cables, RG-6 coaxial cable must be used.

• You can not use a diplexer to combine the O


and S

ATELLITE

I N

cables if using an amplified antenna.

If you have questions about over-the-air channels, contact the broadcasters, not DISH.

DISH does not broadcast over-the-air signals and so cannot do anything to change overthe-air signal quality. However, the receiver's digital channel setup menus provide a signal strength bar that can help you in aiming the over-the-air TV antenna for the strongest possible signal.

Additional Resources for Over-the-Air TV Broadcasts

For information on channel numbers, you can visit the National Association of

Broadcasters (NAB) web page at www.nab.org.

Note : The receiver displays “Transmit Channel” which is referred to on the NAB web page as RF Channel. These terms mean the same thing.

Another good source of local channel information is available from the Consumer

Electronics Association (CEA) web page at: www.antennaweb.org. This website provides recommendations for antenna types and pointing directions.

Possible Reason What to Do

There may be a problem with the multi-dish switch.

Heavy rain, snow, or cloud cover may be interfering with transmission of the satellite signal, or there may be other interference.

The wrong type of coaxial cable may be used in the system, or the cable run length may be too long.

There may also be a problem with the multi-dish switch.

The receiver may not have received authorization for programming yet. The satellite dish may have moved so that it is no longer picking up the satellite signal. The cable connections may have loosened or have moisture inside. There may be an interruption of the satellite signal.

Check the coaxial cables and their connections to and from the multi-dish switch. Make sure that all required cables are in place, and check that all cable connections are tight and dry (for outdoor cables). Refer to mydish.com/support for additional steps.

• Note the local weather conditions. Remove any snow or other debris which may have collected on the satellite dish.

• Make sure that the satellite dish has a clear line of sight to the satellite. Check whether branches or leaves have grown into the line of sight.

• Make sure that the satellite dish is aimed at the satellite.

Check the strength of the signal using the Point Dish screen. Consult your installer to re-aim the dish, if necessary, to obtain the strongest possible signal.

• Make sure the system uses RG6 coaxial cable; if not, call your dealer or installer.

• Check the dish-to-receiver cable run length is not more than 200 feet. Check the coaxial cables and their connections to and from the multi-dish switch. Make sure that all required cables are in place, and check that all cable connections are tight and dry (for outdoor cables).

Refer to mydish.com/support for additional steps.

• If you have authorized the receiver (added it to your account), wait a few minutes to see if the message is removed. Make sure that all required cables are in place, and check that all cable connections are tight and dry (for outdoor cables).

• Make sure that the satellite dish has a clear line of sight to the satellite. Check whether branches or leaves have grown into the line of sight. Check that the Signal Strength bar in the Point Dish screen is green and displays the word

Locked. If not, contact your installer to re-aim the satellite dish. If you have not authorized the receiver, call the

Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474).

The receiver may not be connected to an active telephone line or broadband Internet connection.

Viewers in specific areas are prohibited from watching certain programs. For example, viewers who live close to a particular football stadium may be prohibited from watching football games that are played in that stadium.

You must connect each installed receiver to an active telephone connection or broadband Internet connection.

Program providers specify which programs are blacked out for specific areas, not DISH.

You may have tried to tune to a program on a channel which you have not bought.

Note

: The receiver deletes a Once event timer when it operates.

Editing an automatic event timer converts it to a manual event timer. Such a timer starts and stops at the times you specify, not the start and stop times of any specific program.

You may have tried to set a manual event timer with invalid start or stop times.

The receiver may not be able to display a program name for a manual event timer.

If you want an automatic event timer to start and stop according to a specific program, avoid editing that event timer.

Review the information on manual event timers.

Use the Program Guide or a printed schedule to find the program name.

The program may have started a little earlier than scheduled, or it may have run over its scheduled ending time.

• Use the Start 1 min. early option to start any event timer one minute early, except for a Pay-Per-View event.

• Use a manual event timer to start any event timer at the times you set yourself, except for a Pay-Per-View event.

The receiver may have tried to send Pay-Per-View purchase information to DISH using your phone line during the fax or modem call. When the receiver found that the telephone was busy, it automatically disconnected. This generated

“clicks” that caused an error in the FAX or modem transmission.

What to Do

You do not have to do anything. You can always use your telephone line, because the receiver automatically hangs up if it finds the line is busy.

Hang up, and then pick up the telephone again to get a dial tone.

Ordering a Pay-Per-View Program


Someone orders a Pay-Per-View program without your permission.

Possible Reason

You may have been away from the receiver, and someone else used it.

You find that you are not able to order a Pay-Per-View program.

You find that you are not able to cancel a Pay-Per-View program.

The receiver may not be connected to an active telephone line or broadband

Internet connection.

What to Do

Lock the purchase of Pay-Per-View programs. Remember that you are responsible for all Pay-Per-View purchases, whether or not you authorize such purchases. If you lock

Pay-Per-View purchases, then anyone who wants to order a Pay-Per-View program must enter the password.

Connect each receiver to a phone line or a broadband Internet connection for

Pay-Per-View ordering using the remote control.

You cannot cancel an order for a Pay-

Per-View program, whether it was just ordered or ordered earlier.

If you want to watch a Pay-Per-View program on TVs connected on each receiver, you must order the program for each receiver but you only pay for the program once.

Menus


You were using a menu, and it suddenly closed.

Possible Reason

You may have not done anything with the remote control or front panel buttons for several minutes.

What to Do

The receiver has a time-out feature that closes any menu after several minutes of no activity. This will discard any changes you have made, but otherwise does no harm to the receiver. Start over again.

THE DISH NETWORK SERVICE

A. Services Defined. "Services" shall mean all video, audio, data, interactive and other programming services and all other services that are currently available from DISH Network (whether subscription, pay-per-view or otherwise) and that we may provide to customers in the future.

B. Minimum Programming Levels. If your applicable Package Plan Agreement specifies required minimum programming, you must subscribe to such programming. Otherwise, you must subscribe to one or more of the following programming packages:

Welcome Pack, Latino Welcome, DISH America or a higher version of such packages; a qualifying International package plus one of the following: International Basic Package, Chinese Basic Package, or a previously listed package. We may change such minimum programming requirements at any time. For select customers based on when activation of service occurred, an International Service Access Fee (as detailed in Exhibit 1) may apply. If you subscribe to Racetrack TV, but do not subscribe to applicable minimum programming a Service Access Fee (as detailed in Exhibit 1) may appply.

C. Programming Availability. Certain Services, including without limitation, some subscription Services, sporting events and broadcast network Services, may be blacked out in your viewing area; if you circumvent or attempt to circumvent any of these blackouts, you may be subject to legal action. If the location at which you are receiving Services is a wagering location, you are not eligible to receive certain channels, including without limitation, Racetrack TV. You must be at least 18 years of age, or the applicable age of majority where you reside, to order or receive adult-oriented programming services.

D. Changing Your Programming Selection. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or any applicable Package Plan

Agreement(s), you may change your programming selection at any time by notifying us. A Programming Change Fee (as detailed in Exhibit 1) may apply to such programming changes, unless you are receiving Services and/or Equipment (as defined in Section 4(A)) pursuant to a Package Plan Agreement that requires you to pay in full for all Services and/or

Equipment prior to receiving such Services and/or Equipment (a “Pre-Pay Promotion”).

E. Multi-Month Subscriptions. For multi-month subscriptions, you may downgrade your Services only when you renew. You may not downgrade your Services during the term of a multi-month subscription.

F. Ordering Pay-Per-View. You may use your remote control and on-screen program guide to order pay-per-view Services through your television if your DISH Network receiver is connected to a land-based telephone line and/or a broadband home network. You may also order DISH Network pay-per-view Services by calling 877-DISH-PPV (3474-778) and using our automated system, or by visiting dish.com/orderppv, or by speaking with a live operator at one of our customer service centers (an Agent Assist Fee will apply as detailed in Exhibit 1). Pre-Pay Promotion customers may only order pay-per-view

Services by calling 877-DISH-PPV (3474-778).

G. Accessing the Internet Through Your Receiver. Some of our receivers can be used to access websites and information on the Internet. DISH Network does not have any control over such websites and information, and we do not make any

114

Appendix

Residential Customer Agreement representations, warranties or guarantees as to the availability or content of such websites and information, including without limitation: (i) the accuracy, availability, sequence, completeness, timeliness, copyright compliance, legality, content, validity, or quality of any such websites or information; or (ii) whether using the software contained in such receivers may result in accessing unintended, inappropriate or objectionable content. We may change, limit, suspend, disable and/or remove your ability to access the Internet using your receiver at any time without notice. We may also limit or restrict the websites and information that you may access on the Internet using your receiver at any time without notice.

H. Private Home Viewing Only. DISH Network provides Services to you solely for viewing, use and enjoyment in your private home. You agree that no Services provided to you will be viewed in areas open to the public, commercial establishments or other residential locations. Services may not be rebroadcast or performed, and admission may not be charged for listening to or viewing any Services. If your Services are viewed in an area open to the public, a commerical establishment or another residential location, we may disconnect your Services and, in addition to all other applicable fees, you must pay us the difference between the price actually paid for Services and the full applicable rate for such Services, regardless of whether we have the right to distribute such Services in such other location.

I. Changes in Services Offered. We may add, delete, rearrange and/or change any and all programming, programming packages and other Services that we offer, as well as the prices and fees related to such programming, programming packages and Services, at any time, including without limitation, during any term commitment period to which you have agreed. If a change affects you, we will notify you of such change and its effective date. In the event that we delete, rearrange or change any programming, programming packages or other Services, we have no obligation to replace or supplement such programming, programming packages or other Services. You are not entitled to any refund because of a deletion, rearrangement or change of any programming, programming packages or other Services.

J. Promotional Offers and Items. If a third party, such as an independent DISH Network retailer, integrator or private cable operator, offered you a promotional offer or item in connection with your subscription to the Services, such third party is wholly responsible for fulfilling such promotional offer or providing such promotional item, and DISH Network is not in any way responsible for such fulfillment unless the promotional offer or item was offered with DISH Network’s prior authorization, approval, permission or knowledge.

2 . BILLING POLICIES; PAYMENTS FOR SERVICES; FEES

A. Payments. You agree to pay all amounts billed for Services, as well as all taxes, fees and other charges, if any, that are now or may in the future be assessed in connection with any Services you receive from us, and any other charges due and owing to us. State and local taxes or reimbursement charges for gross earnings taxes imposed on satellite providers for transmission of programming in some states may apply. Unless you prepay for a multi-month subscription to Services or prepay for all Services as required by your participation in a Pre-Pay Promotion, we will bill you monthly in advance for most

Services and in arrears for other Services such as pay-per-view ordered by you or anyone who uses your Equipment, whether with or without your permission, until you cancel your Services. Multi-month subscription customers and Pre-Pay

Promotion customers will be billed based on your pre-pay period (multi-month subscriptions) or monthly (Pre-Pay Promotion customers), and must make all payments in advance of the due date on your bill in order to continue receiving your Services; you must also pre-pay for all other Services, such as pay-per-view, ordered by you or anyone who uses your Equipment, whether with or without your permission.

B. Billing Policies. Your bills will show the total amount due, the payment due date, payments, credits, purchases and other charges to your account. You may submit your payment by mail, on our website, through our AutoPay program, by calling a

DISH Network customer service representative, or by any other means that we designate. Partial payments will be applied first to the oldest outstanding bill. You must make your payment regardless of whether you receive a bill. We do not assume the risk of undelivered mail. If you send checks or money orders marked with a designation such as “payment in full,” we can accept them without waiving any of our rights, including without limitation, our rights to collect any other amounts owed by you, notwithstanding your characterization of such payment. DISH Network does not extend credit to our customers, and the

Late Payment Fee (as detailed in Exhibit 1) is not interest, a credit service charge or a finance charge. Certain fees and charges may apply in certain circumstances to your payment for the Services, including without limitation, those expressly set forth in Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

C. AutoPay and Paperless Billing. If you accept a promotion that requires you to sign up for and maintain AutoPay and/or

Paperless Billing and later discontinue AutoPay and/or Paperless Billing, then you may no longer be eligible for that promotion and you may lose the promotional price.

D. Alterations to Payment Terms. If you paid for a monthly subscription (other than a Pre-Pay Promotion) and your account is past due on more than one occasion, we may require that you pay for all Services and Equipment before you receive them and you will be deemed to be receiving your Service under a Pre-Pay Promotion, at which point, all terms and conditions of such Pre-Pay Promotion will apply to you. If you paid for a multi-month subscription to any Services and your account is past due for any amount, we may convert your multi-month subscription to a monthly subscription, and we will first apply the amount you paid for your multi-month subscription to any past due amounts and then to any obligations you incur in the future.

E. Restarting your Services. If you do not pay your bill in full by its due date, or you at any time otherwise fail, neglect or refuse to make timely payment for your Services, we may disconnect your Services, and in such event we will be wholly relieved from any and all of our duties and obligations under this Agreement. If your Services are disconnected for nonpayment or any other reason, DISH Network may require that you pay, and you agree to pay, before we reconnect your

Services, all past due charges, a deposit equal to a minimum of one month of service charges, and all outstanding balances accrued through the date of such disconnection. If your Services are disconnected for non-payment or any other reason, you will no longer be eligible, even if you pay to restart your Service, to receive any remaining credits or promotional pricing that you would have been eligible to receive had your Services not been disconnected. Unless required by applicable law, deposits will not be held segregated from other funds and will not earn or accrue interest. Promotional pricing is valid only at the time of installation.

115

Appendix


F. Attorneys’ Fees/Collections. If we use an attorney or a collection agency to collect any money you owe us or to assert any other right that we may have against you, including without limitation, any breach of any agreement you may have with DISH

Network or one of our affiliates, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of such collection or other action. These costs may include, without limitation, the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. If you believe you have been billed in error or you would like to make any other requests for a billing statement credit, you must contact our customer service center by telephone or in writing within twenty (20) days after the date you receive the bill for which you are seeking correction. Failure to timely notify us of a dispute will constitute your acceptance of the corresponding bill. You must pay undisputed portions of any billing statement before the next billing statement is issued or you must pay a Late Payment

Fee. All payments for Services must be made directly by you to us, unless we authorize otherwise; for example, DISH

Network shall have no obligation to provide Services for which payment is made by you to a third party or payment is made by a third party on your behalf.

G. Billing Agent Payments. Different or other payment and billing terms, conditions, options and fees may apply when billing is provided through a third-party billing agent, including without limitation, a local telephone company.

H. Early Termination Fees. Depending on your specific Package Plan Agreement, you may incur fees for disconnecting your service before the expiration of a commitment period or downgrading your programming below any applicable minimum programming requirement during a commitment period (each an “Early Termination Fee”). Please reference your Package

Plan Agreement for details regarding any Early Termination Fee that may apply.

3

. CANCELLATION OF SERVICE

A. Continuation of Services. Your subscription to Services will automatically renew until you cancel your Services or we otherwise disconnect your Services, in each case as provided herein or in any applicable Package Plan Agreement.

B. Cancellation Policies. You may cancel your Services for any reason at any time by notifying us at the phone number, e-mail address or mailing address set forth at the top of this Agreement. Please be aware that certain Package Plan Agreements have an optional or mandatory term commitment period and if you cancel your Services prior to the expiration of an applicable optional or mandatory term commitment period, certain early termination or cancellation fees may apply.

C. Disconnection of Services. In addition to all other rights that DISH Network may have to disconnect your Services, DISH

Network may disconnect your Services if: (i) you fail to pay any bill in full when it is due; (ii) we receive confirmation that you have received Services, or any part of the Services, without paying for them; (iii) you otherwise violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any applicable Package Plan Agreement; (iv) you transfer, encumber or relocate any leased

Equipment (unless you relocate such Equipment as part of a residential move into an area within which you can permissibly continue to receive such Services); (v) you assign or attempt to assign any of your rights, duties or obligations under this

Agreement or any applicable Package Plan Agreement; (vi) you are receiving Services through a third-party billing agent and become ineligible to receive applicable services provided by such third-party billing agent; or (vii) you commence any act or filing of bankruptcy or bankruptcy proceedings are commenced against you.

D. No Credits. If your Services are cancelled or disconnected for any reason, you still must pay all outstanding balances accrued, including without limitation, any applicable fees. Except in certain limited circumstances, charges for Services, once charged to your account, are non-refundable, and no refunds or credits will be provided in connection with the cancellation of

Services. If you received a discounted price due to a promotion, and you cancel prior to any applicable expiration of that promotion, you are not entitled to any refund or credit for the unused portions of such discounted price. If you received a discounted price in exchange for your agreement to pay for your Services on a multi-month basis, and you cancel your

Services prior to the expiration of your multi-month subscription, you are not entitled to any refund or credit for the unused portions of your multi-month subscription.

4

. EQUIPMENT

A. Equipment. In order to receive Services you must purchase or lease certain reception equipment consisting primarily of a

DISH Network compatible satellite receiver(s) and applicable Smart Card(s), remote control(s), satellite antenna(s), and sometimes low noise block converter(s) with integrated feed(s) (collectively, “Equipment”).

B. Additional Tuners and Receivers. We may choose to allow you to place additional receivers on your account. If we allow you to do so, each additional receiver will be authorized to receive the same Services as your initial receiver, subject to the limitations of your television equipment. All of your receivers must be located at the same residence and continuously connected to the same land-based telephone line and/or broadband home network. If you wish to receive Services at two different residential locations, you must open a separate account for each location, unless otherwise specifically authorized by DISH Network. You may not directly or indirectly use a single account for the purpose of authorizing Services for multiple

DISH Network receivers that are not all located in the same residential location and connected to the same land-based telephone line and/or broadband home network. If we later determine that you did, we may disconnect your Services and, in addition to all other applicable fees, you agree to pay us the difference between the amounts actually received by us and the full retail price for the Services authorized for each DISH Network receiver on your account.

C. Smart Cards. Receiver(s) are equipped with a conditional access card (“Smart Card”) inserted into a slot or otherwise installed in such receiver. Not all receivers with a Smart Card slot require a Smart Card for proper authorization. Smart Cards remain the property of DISH Network at all times and must be returned to us upon our request. Smart Cards are not transferable. Your Smart Card will only work in the DISH Network receiver to which it was assigned by DISH Network. If you report to our customer service center that your Smart Card has been lost, damaged, defective or stolen, we will replace it, unless there is evidence of unauthorized tampering or modification, and a Smart Card Replacement Fee will apply. In addition, in order to minimize downtime for your Equipment, DISH Network will, upon your request, deliver a replacement

Smart Card to you via overnight delivery, in which case an Overnight Delivery Fee will apply.

116

Appendix


D. DVR. DISH Network’s digital video recorder (“DVR”) products allow you to record programming in digital format. Total available recording time varies depending on your receiver and the nature of the programs being recorded. DISH Network does not guarantee access to or recording of any particular programming, or that any such programming will not be deleted from your DVR product. Most programming is the copyrighted material of the third party that supplies it; is protected by copyright and other applicable laws; and may not be reproduced, published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed without the written permission of the third party that supplied it (except as permitted by the “fair use” provisions of the U.S. copyright laws).

E. Telephone/Broadband Connection. To optimize the operation of your Equipment, you must continuously connect each

DISH Network receiver on your account to the same land-based telephone line and/or a broadband home network. Failure to connect each receiver to the same land-based telephone line and/or a broadband home network may result in interruption or disconnection of Services. We may charge you a TV2 Receiver Connection Fee for each dual tuner receiver that is not connected to the same land based telephone line and/or a broadband network (as detailed in Exhibit 1).

F. Receiver Alterations. DISH Network may, through periodic downloads, alter the software, features and/or functionality in your DISH Network receivers; provide data and content to DVR products; store and remove data and content on the hard drives of DVR products; and send electronic counter-measures to your DISH Network receivers. DISH Network will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule these downloads to minimize interference with or interruption to your Services, but shall have no liability to you for any interruptions in Services arising out of or related to such downloads. DISH Network may from time to time cease supporting one or more DISH Network receiver models.

G. Proprietary Components and Software. DISH Network receivers and Smart Cards contain components and software that are proprietary to DISH Network and its licensors. You agree that you will not try to reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble, nor will you tamper with or modify, any software or hardware contained within any receiver or Smart Card. Such actions are strictly prohibited and may result in the termination of this Agreement, disconnection of your Services and/or legal action.

H. Software License. You are licensed to use the software provided in your DISH Network receiver(s), as updated by DISH

Network, its licensors and/or its suppliers from time to time, solely in executable code form, solely in conjunction with lawful operation of the DISH Network receiver(s) that you purchased or leased, and solely for the purposes permitted under this

Agreement. You may not copy, modify or transfer any software provided in your DISH Network receiver(s), or any copy of such software, in whole or in part. You may not reverse-engineer, disassemble, decompile or translate such software, or otherwise attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent allowed under any applicable laws. You may not rent, lease, load, resell for profit or distribute any software provided in your DISH Network receiver(s), or any part thereof. Such software is licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms and conditions of this license, and DISH Network, its licensors and its suppliers reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. Except as stated above, this license does not grant to you any intellectual property rights in the software provided in your DISH Network receiver(s). Any attempt to transfer any of the rights, duties or obligations of this license is null and void. If you breach any term or condition of this license, this license will automatically terminate.

I. Stolen Equipment. If any of your Equipment is stolen or otherwise removed from your premises without your authorization, you must notify our customer service center by telephone or in writing immediately, but in any event not later than three (3) business days after such removal, to avoid liability for payment for unauthorized use of your Equipment. You will not be liable for unauthorized use that occurs after we have received your notification.

5 . LEASED EQUIPMENT

A. Lease Terms. We may choose to lease certain Equipment to subscribers. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable

Package Plan Agreement(s), such Equipment (including without limitation, the LNBFs, but not the satellite antenna), shall at all times remain the sole and exclusive property of DISH Network, and we may provide or replace leased Equipment with new or reconditioned Equipment at any time, and upon cancellation or disconnection of your Services, remove or require the return of such Equipment. No leased Equipment provided to you by DISH Network shall be deemed fixtures or part of your real property. We may make such filings and recordings that we may consider necessary to evidence our ownership rights in such Equipment, and you agree to execute any and all documents that we may consider necessary for us to make such filings. Our ownership of such Equipment may be displayed by notice contained on it. You have no right at any time to pledge, sell, mortgage, otherwise encumber, give away, remove, relocate, alter or tamper with such Equipment, or to tamper with or alter any notice of our ownership on such Equipment. Any reinstallation, return, or change in the location of such Equipment must be performed by DISH Network at our then-current service rates. You shall not attach any electrical or other devices to, or in any way alter, any such Equipment without our prior written consent. You are responsible for preventing the loss or destruction of leased Equipment and we recommend that such Equipment be covered by your homeowners, renters or other insurance policy.

B. Return of Leased Equipment. It is your responsibility to return all leased Equipment within thirty (30) days following cancellation or disconnection of your Services. You must call 800-333-DISH (3474) to receive a return authorization number and instructions regarding acceptable methods for returning the Equipment. Options to return your Equipment include, but are not limited to, the use of a shipping label and empty box provided by DISH Network by paying a Box Return Fee (as detailed in Exhibit 1) (which price is subject to change at any time) or scheduling a DISH Network in-home service call to remove the Equipment by paying a Service Call Fee (as detailed in Exhibit 1) charge (which price is subject to change at any time). Equipment will not be deemed returned until received by DISH Network. If you do not return such Equipment undamaged and in working order, normal wear and tear excepted, and in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, then you are responsible and must pay us certain charges as described in the Package Plan Agreement.

C. Defects and Damages. You must notify us immediately of any defect in, damage to, or accident involving your leased

Equipment. All maintenance and repair of such Equipment must be performed by us or our designee(s). DISH Network may charge you for any repairs that are necessitated by any damage to, or misuse of, such Equipment.

Appendix


6 . TRANSFER OF ACCOUNT, SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT

You may not assign or transfer your Services without our written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Provided however, if you lease Equipment or your account has an outstanding balance, then the withholding of consent to assign or transfer your Services shall not be deemed unreasonable.

7 . LIMITATION OF OUR LIABILITY

A. INTERRUPTIONS AND DELAYS. NEITHER WE NOR OUR THIRD-PARTY BILLING AGENTS, NOR ANY OF OUR OR

THEIR AFFILIATES, WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INTERRUPTION IN ANY SERVICE OR FOR ANY DELAY OR FAILURE

TO PERFORM, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: IF SUCH INTERRUPTION, DELAY OR FAILURE TO PERFORM

ARISES IN CONNECTION WITH THE TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF DISH NETWORK'S ACCESS TO ALL OR

ANY PORTION OF SERVICES; THE RELOCATION OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES TO DIFFERENT

SATELLITE(S); A CHANGE IN THE FEATURES AVAILABLE WITH YOUR EQUIPMENT; ANY SOFTWARE OR OTHER

DOWNLOADS INITIATED BY US; OR ANY ACTS OF GOD, FIRES, EARTHQUAKES, FLOODS, POWER OR TECHNICAL

FAILURE, SATELLITE OR UPLINK FAILURE, ACTS OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL BODY OR ANY OTHER CAUSE BEYOND

OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.

B. ALTERATIONS TO EQUIPMENT. NONE OF DISH NETWORK, ECHOSTAR OR OUR THIRD-PARTY BILLING AGENTS,

OR ANY OF OUR OR THEIR AFFILIATES, WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY ALTERATION TO ANY EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING

WITHOUT LIMITATION, REMOVING OR DISABLING FEATURES (SUCH AS THE ABILITY TO ACCESS THE INTERNET

VIA A RECEIVER).

C. LOSS OF RECORDED MATERIAL. NEITHER WE NOR OUR THIRD-PARTY BILLING AGENTS NOR ANY OF OUR OR

THEIR AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM LOSS OF RECORDED MATERIAL OR THE

PREVENTION OF RECORDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSS OR PREVENTION OF RECORDING

DUE TO ANY FAULT, FAILURE, DEFICIENCY OR DEFECT IN SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT.

D. NO WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW,

NEITHER WE NOR OUR THIRD-PARTY BILLING AGENTS, NOR ANY OF OUR OR THEIR AFFILIATES, MAKE ANY

WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, REGARDING YOUR DISH NETWORK EQUIPMENT OR ANY OTHER

EQUIPMENT OR ANY SERVICES FURNISHED TO YOU. ALL SUCH WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,

ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY

EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED.

E. CONTENT RESTRICTIONS. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPOSE ANY PROGRAMMING, INTERNET OR OTHER

CONTENT RESTRICTIONS ON YOURSELF, MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY AND HOUSEHOLD, AND GUESTS, AS YOU

DEEM APPROPRIATE. NONE OF DISH NETWORK, ECHOSTAR, OUR THIRD-PARTY BILLING AGENTS, OR OUR AND

THEIR AFFILIATES SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANYONE DUE TO, OR BASED UPON, ANY CONTENT (INCLUDING

ANY OF THE SERVICES FURNISHED TO YOU; OR (ii) ACCESSED USING THE SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT

FURNISHED TO YOU.

F. DAMAGES LIMITATION. NEITHER WE NOR OUR THIRD-PARTY BILLING AGENTS, NOR ANY OF OUR OR THEIR

AFFILIATES, SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR

EQUIPMENT; OUR FURNISHING OR FAILURE TO FURNISH ANY SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT TO YOU; OR ANY FAULT,

FAILURE, DEFICIENCY OR DEFECT IN SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT FURNISHED TO YOU.

8 . LEGAL COMPLIANCE; PIRACY AND INFRINGEMENT; TRADEMARKS; PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY

A. Piracy. Receiving any portion of the Services without paying for them and/or any direct or indirect act or attempted act to engage or assist in any unauthorized interception or reception of any portion of the Services is a violation of various U.S. federal and state laws and of this Agreement. The penalties for violating such laws can include imprisonment and civil damage awards of up to $110,000 per violation.

B. Infringement. Section 605(e)4 of Title 47 of the United States Code makes it a federal crime to modify Equipment to receive encrypted (scrambled) television programming without payment of required subscriptions. Conviction can result in a fine of up to $500,000 and imprisonment for five years, or both. Any person who procures Equipment that has been so modified is an accessory to that offense and may be punished in the same manner. Investigative authority for violations lies with the Federal

Bureau of Investigation. The Equipment may incorporate copyright protection technology that is protected by U.S. patents and/or other intellectual property rights. Use of such copyright protection technology must be authorized by DISH Network or its suppliers or licensors, and is intended for home and other limited pay-per-view uses only, unless otherwise authorized by

DISH Network or its suppliers or licensors. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

. GENERAL

A. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given by us under this Agreement may be provided via the mail, on your bill, as a bill insert, via broadcast on a television channel, through publication on the website set forth at the top of this Agreement, by telephone, or by any other reasonable means. If we send you notice by mail, on your bill or as a bill insert, it will be considered given the day after it is deposited in the U.S. mail, addressed to you at your then-current billing address in our records. If we send you notice via broadcast on a television channel or through publication on the website set forth at the top of this Agreement, it will be considered given when first broadcast or published. If we send you notice by telephone, it will be considered given when personally delivered to you or when left as a message at your then-current phone number in our records. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notice required or permitted to be given by you under this

Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by first-class mail addressed to us at the mailing address set forth at the top of this Agreement, and shall be deemed given when received by us at such mailing address.

118

Appendix


B. Physical Address/Change of Address. When setting up your DISH Network account, you must provide us with the physical address where your Equipment will be located and your Services will be provided. A post office box does not meet this requirement. You must give us immediate notice of any change of name, mailing address, telephone number, or physical address where your Equipment is located. You may do this by notifying our customer service center by telephone or in writing at the phone number, mailing address, or e-mail address set forth at the top of this Agreement.

C. Online Account Information. If you have an online account with us, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account username and password and for all activities that occur under your account username and/or password. You must: (i) keep your account username and password confidential and not share them with anyone else; and (ii) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password and/or account username or other breach of security.

D. Third-Party Billing Agents. We may enter into relationships with third parties to provide billing and other services on our behalf, in which case the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to such third parties as applicable under the circumstances. Additional terms and conditions imposed by our third-party billing agents may apply. For example and without limitation: (i) late fees imposed by our third-party billing agents may be administered according to our third-party billing agent's billing procedures and applicable state tariffs and regulations; (ii) our third-party billing agents may require that you to pay all past due charges for Services, a restart fee, and/or a prepayment before we reconnect your Services; and (iii) other services provided by our third-party billing agents, including without limitation, local telephone service, may need to be restored before

DISH Network Services can be restored, and a restoral fee and/or deposit may be required to restore third-party billing agent services. Partial payments on third-party billing agent bills may be applied first to the balance due for other services billed on your third-party billing agent bill, including without limitation, local telephone service, according to the third-party billing agent's billing procedures and applicable state statutes and regulations. Please contact your third-party billing agent for details.

Failure to pay all or any part of your third-party billing agent bill may result in disconnection of Services. If your account is assigned to a third-party billing agent we will provide you notice of such assignment.

E. Credit Checks. You authorize DISH Network to investigate your financial responsibility and creditworthiness, including without limitation, acquiring credit reports and histories, and to report any payment defaults to credit reporting agencies. Such credit checks may require you to provide DISH Network with your social security number. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you have the right to notify DISH Network if you believe we have reported inaccurate information about your account to any credit reporting agency. Please include in any such notice the specific item of dispute and why you believe the information reported is in error.

F. Applicable Law. This Agreement, including without limitation, all matters relating to its validity, construction, performance and enforcement, and any claim, complaint or dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Services or the

Equipment shall be governed by the laws and regulations of the State of Colorado without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions. This Agreement is subject to amendment, modification or termination if required by such laws or regulations. If any provision in this Agreement is declared to be illegal or in conflict with any law or regulation, that provision will be considered modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision legal and no longer in conflict with such law or regulation, without affecting the validity of any other provisions.

G. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies provided under this Agreement to DISH Network in case of your default or breach of this Agreement are cumulative and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that DISH Network may have by reason of such default or breach at law, in equity, under contract or otherwise (all of which are expressly reserved).

H. Other. No salesperson, installer, customer service representative, authorized retailer, or other similarly situated individual is authorized to change or override this Agreement. DISH Network may, however, change this Agreement at any time and will notify you if that occurs. The terms and conditions of this Agreement that either are expressly stated to survive or by their nature would logically be expected to survive its expiration or termination will continue thereafter. This Agreement is in addition to any other written agreement(s), if any, between you and DISH Network, including without limitation, any applicable

Package Plan Agreement, and except as provided to the contrary herein, all such written agreements shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement replaces and supersedes any and all prior DISH Network Residential Customer Agreements in their entirety, and such prior DISH Network Residential

Customer Agreements shall be of no further force or effect whatsoever. In the event of any ambiguity between this Agreement and any applicable Package Plan Agreement, DISH Network shall have the sole and exclusive authority to interpret and/or make a final determination concerning any issue arising from such ambiguity.

FCC Compliance

FCC C OMPLIANCE

The following text is extracted from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, as of the publication date of this Guide. Contact the FCC (see following) or your library for the complete text of the regulations.

Telephone Communication

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the back panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant RJ-11 telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant, such as RJ-11.

See installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of

RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact DISH at 1-800-333-DISH

(3474). If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

Compliance Information Statement

•

•

•

EchoStar Technologies Corporation, 94 Inverness Terrace East, Englewood CO., (303) 706-4000, declares that:

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Connecting to an Over-the-Air Antenna

In order to receive local broadcast channels, you may wish to install an over-the-air antenna into your TV distribution equipment. There are many devices that allow you to connect your antenna to your in-home distribution system such as splitters and amplifiers. You must be careful to meet certain FCC regulations with respect to the isolation between the antenna port and the network port of your system. It is recommended that you purchase a splitter or amplifier with the correctly specified isolation from your local satellite television retailer.
