DISH Network Check Switch Procedure

ATTENTION: DISH has discontinued use of satellite 129.

Programming from satellite 129 has been transferred to satellites 110 and 119. Until a software fix is released, after scanning for satellites, your DISH receiver will show “All Satellites Not Found.” 

Select “View TV” or "Save" to continue watching your favorite channels.

 

Your DISH Network receiver must receive a Check Switch:

• Before receiver activation
• When connecting to a different satellite dish

 

To begin please ensure that you have the satellite connected to the receiver before you power on the receiver. Once power is applied the receiver will take a few minutes to power cycle, when this is completed press the menu button on your remote and this screen will appear. Select “System Setup”

 

From the next screen please select “Installation”

 

From the next screen please select “Point Dish”

 

From the Point Dish screen please select “Check Switch” Note: A message may pop up indicating that the receiver is checking for available satellites please wait for this box to disappear before making selection.

 

From the Installation Summary screen please select “Test”

 

Once the Check Switch test has started please wait for the series of tests to be completed this may take up to 5 minutes.

 

Once the test has been successfully completed you will see the above screen indicating and confirming your signal reception to the appropriate satellites. Please select “ Done”

 

Please allow your receiver a few minutes to lock on to and verify satellites as indicated by the green status bar on the bottom of the screen. Select “ Done”.

 

With the previous steps successfully competed select “Yes” This will start the process in which your receiver will receive a software update which is necessary for the receiver to have full functionality.

 

As indicated by the above screen the software download process has begun and may take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. It is very important that you do not disturb or power off the unit during this process. Doing so can cause a system reboot which can take 20 to 60 minutes.

 

Once the download has completed the receiver’s memory will be programmed as indicated above. This process may take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes and once completed your receiver will power cycle itself bringing you to the screen below.

 

On this screen you will see that your receiver is acquiring satellite signal. This process may take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

 

Congratulations! Your Dish Network receiver is now ready to be activated we hope you enjoy your service!
