Important Safety Instructions
Page iii
You should always follow these instructions to help ensure against injury to
yourself and damage to the system.
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. Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Unplug this 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.
Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
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.

Safety Tips
• 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.
• Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords; this can result in a risk of fire or
electrical shock.
• 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 elec-
trical shock.
• 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.
• 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 ser-
vicing to authorized service personnel.
Proper Care of Your Equipment
• Always handle the satellite receiver carefully. Excessive shock and vibration can
damage the hard drive.
• Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
• Always turn the receiver off, unplug it and let it sit for at least 30 seconds before
moving it.
• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver manufac-
turer will void the Limited Warranty.
• Do not place the receiver in an enclosure (such as a cabinet) without proper ventila-
tion.
• Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic devices as this can
cause heat build-up and vibration.
• 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 immedi-
ately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes before plug-
ging it in.
• 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. This will provide
additional protection against damage caused by lightning or power line surges.
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 operat-
ing/viewing restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and associated TV war-
ranty coverage.

How to Get Started
Welcome!
You’re about to enjoy a Digital Video Recorder!
This satellite receiver lets you decide how you watch TV. You can record
and play back audio and video with full digital quality. You can pause a live
program and not miss any of the action or you can record a program to
watch later, without a VCR.
This device is also an advanced satellite receiver, with features like a
UHF/IR remote control, on-screen program info, themes to select
programs, favorite lists, program locks, Dolby®Digital sound, and more.
Note: Portions of your system may be marked with DishDVR and DVR or
DishDVR and DVR. Either way, the system works just the same.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECEIVER
• Always handle the satellite receiver carefully. Avoid
excessive shock and vibration at all times as this can
damage the hard drive.
• If you have the receiver turned on and need to move it,
be sure to unplug the receiver and let it sit for at least
30 seconds before moving it.
• Do not install the receiver in any area where the
temperature can be less than 40°F or more than 113°F
while the unit is operating.
• 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.
• Avoid installing the receiver on top of or underneath
another electronic device (such as a stereo receiver) as
this can cause heat build-up and vibration.

How to Get Started
Overview
Before you use your satellite receiver, you need to install the system or
have it installed by a professional technician. For a professional installation,
please call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474). If you
install the system yourself, use the instructions in Chapter 4.
A vital part of the installation is to set up the receiver to get the
latest software via the satellite signal. You can’t use the
receiver’s features until you do! If you are installing a new
system and follow the instructions in Chapter 4, your receiver
will automatically get this software.
• After you install your system (or add this receiver to an existing system),
all you need to do is order your program packages using the instructions
on page 3.
• Take the Quick Tours that begin on page 4 to become familiar with
product operation and features.
• To learn about parts of the system, see Parts of the System on page 15.
• To learn how to use the system, see Chapter 3, How to Use the System
on page 31.
• To troubleshoot the system, see Chapter 5, Reference on page 105.
• Tune to the DISH Network info channels or visit our Web site at
www.dishnetwork.com for info.
• For more help, call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH
(3474).
New Features Video
Your new receiver comes with New Features Video software. This new
software allows us to download information to your hard drive in the form of
short, video messages which will appear in your My Recordings. We will
use these messages to tell you when we’ve updated your receiver to add
exciting new features and capabilities. Be sure to look for these events
whenever you access your recorded events—to see what’s new for you from
DISH Network!
