These codes require proper grounding of the metal structure of the outdoor satellite dish antenna and grounding of the connecting cable at a point where it enters the house (or other building). If you are having a professional installer perform the installation, the installer must observer installation codes. This manual contains instructions on how to make the installation in compliance with the NEC. If additional local installation codes apply, contact local inspection authorities. iv Antenna grounding example from the National Electrical Code instructions contained in Radio and Television Equipment LightningFor added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet, disconnect the antenna and cable system, and disconnect it from the telephone line. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. Television Antenna Information Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna installer. Do not locate the outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. If an outside antenna is connected to the digital satellite receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. This digital satellite receiver is equipped with a plug that will fit into the power outlet only one way. Do not modify the plug defeating this feature. If the plug does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. To prevent electric shock, do not use this plug with an extension cord or outlet unless you can fully insert the blades without blade exposure. Section 810 of the NEC, NFPA No. 70 1987, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. Note to CATV System Installer This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installers attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which 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. Power Lines Extreme care must be taken when installing and adjusting or maintaining the outdoor antenna and connecting cable, especially in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric lights, or power circuits.

Programming the remote control - Draft A.03 45 46 Programming the remote control - Draft A.03 Questions & Answers - Draft A.03 A Questions? Did we forget to tell you something? Many people, over time, have questions about their satellite system. We have compiled the most common of these questions and the answers in this appendix. We hope they help!
. What happened?
QI had a signal but now I am getting a message Searching for satellite signal. To access related utilities, press ARain clouds and snow can affect the satellite signal reception. This loss of signal is temporary. Also check for new growth on trees and bushes that could be blocking the signal. One other possibility is that the wind or someone has moved the satellite dish antenna. QWhy cant I control my TV?
ABefore you can control your TV, VCR, or any other device, besides your digital satellite receiver, you must program your remote control to match your different devices. See the chapter, Programming Your Remote Control in this manual for specific instructions. If you have already successfully programmed your remote control, try pressing the appropriate device key to put your remote in the proper mode. Then try controlling that device. Also, make sure that the batteries in the remote control are good. QMy digital satellite receiver does not respond when I press keys. Whats wrong?
AMost likely, if the front panel keys work but the remote control doesnt work, try pressing the SAT key before trying to control the digital satellite receiver. If that doesnt work, press the SAT and Mute keys together and try again. If that doesnt work, or if the front panel keys dont work either, unplug your digital satellite receiver for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Since your digital satellite receiver is a computing device it is susceptible to erratic changes in power and/or signal, just as any other computer, and these sudden changes can cause it to become confused. QSome channels look good, while others freeze or indicate that no signal is available. Whats wrong?
AThe most common causes for this behavior relate to an improperly grounded satellite cable. Check the cable between your digital satellite receiver and the satellite dish antenna. Confirm that RG-6 (not RG-59) cable is used and does not exceed 100 feet in length. Longer cable runs require amplification. This special amplifier is available from your dealer. QHow can I watch one channel while recording another?
AWith only one digital satellite receiver, unfortunately, you cant. Each receiver can only decode one channel at a time. QIm getting a message to call some extension. Why?
AThere are many different reasons for this. If you want to watch the channel that is displaying the message, call DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV
(347-3288). QWhy dont I have an on-screen offer to purchase pay per view programs?
AThere are three possibilities; your digital satellite receiver must be connected to a phone line and it is not, or DIRECTV doesnt realize that your phone line is connected or has disabled your ability to make on-screen purchases. Call DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV (347-3288), for assistance. Questions & Answers - Draft A.03 47 QCan I receive my local TV programs through my digital satellite receiver?
AThere are three ways to receive local programming:
If you are in an area where local programming is available via satellite and have the proper satellite dish antenna, contact DIRECTV to arrange for the necessary subscription package. Install a traditional antenna (i.e. roof mounted, attic mounted or rabbit ears) or lifeline cable TV. Arrange for basic or lifeline cable service from your local cable company. If you should select item 1 above, your local programming will appear in the program guide just as any other channel. For options 2 or 3, connect the local signal to the IN FROM ANTENNA on the back of your digital key to switch between DIRECTV satellite receiver. Use the programming and local programming provided on the OUT TO TV connector. QIf I have questions about my satellite system or need to have it serviced, who should I call?
AFor issues regarding your equipment, contact Hughes Consumer Care Center directly at 1-800-274-8995. If you would like, call your dealer first. They are most familiar with your installation and needs. Also, they are likely to be local to you. If you need assistance with your subscription, such as adding channels, contact DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV (347-3288). QI think I set an event to record on my VCR, but when I played the tape back nothing was there. What could be wrong?
AThere are several possible reasons for this. First, check that the VCR was programmed correctly and left turned on and the input matches the output from your digital satellite receiver. Confirm that you were authorized to tape the chosen program. QIWhy do I need to connect the satellite reciever to a telephone line?
AThe telephone connection is used by the satellite receiver report purchase activity to DIRECTV. QI picked up my telephone and it was making a hissing and squealing sound. Why?
AYour digital satellite receiver was reporting any pay per view activity that may have occurred. This happens very rarely and lasts for only a minute or so. QWhat if my question isnt listed here?
ACall your dealer or Hughes Consumer Care Center at 1-800-274-8995. We will do our very best to answer your questions. 48 Questions & Answers - Draft A.03 LIMITED WARRANTY Hughes Network Systems (HNS) provides the following limited warranty on this equipment.

Satellite Dish Antenna Grounding The outdoor satellite dish antenna used to receive satellite signals and the cable used to connect the satellite dish antenna to the indoor receiving unit are required to comply with local installation codes and the appropriate sections of the National Electric Code (NEC) and in particular Article 810-15, which covers proper installation and grounding of television receiving equipment, as well as to Article 820-33, which specifies that the satellite dish antenna cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical. These codes require proper grounding of the metal structure of the outdoor satellite dish antenna and grounding of the connecting cable at a point where it enters the house (or other building). If you are having a professional installer perform the installation, the installer must observer installation codes. This manual contains instructions on how to make the installation in compliance with the NEC. If additional local installation codes apply, contact local inspection authorities. 52 Installing the satellite antenna-A.03 Antenna grounding example from the National Electrical Code instructions contained in Radio and Television Equipment LightningFor added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet, disconnect the antenna and cable system, and disconnect it from the telephone line. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. Television Antenna Information Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna installer. Do not locate the outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal. If an outside antenna is connected to the satellite receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. This satellite receiver is equipped with a plug that will fit into the power outlet only one way. Do not modify the plug defeating this feature. If the plug does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. To prevent electric shock, do not use this plug with an extension cord or outlet unless you can fully insert the blades without blade exposure. Section 810 of the NEC, NFPA No. 70 1987, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. Note to CATV System Installer This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installers attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which 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. Power Lines Extreme care must be taken when installing and adjusting or maintaining the outdoor antenna and connecting cable, especially in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric lights, or power circuits. When installing the outdoor antenna or cable, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.
