The test will begin as soon as the screen appears.
Results are displayed in a moment.
If the test discovers a problem with the satellite tuning, check
that the satellite dish is pointed properly, and that nothing is
obstructing the direct view to the satellite.
If the test discovers a problem with the Access Card, check
that the card is properly inserted. (See Inserting the Access
Card in Chapter 2 for details.)
If the test discovers a problem with the Receiver ID, contact an authorized call center.
NOTE
The Receiver ID is printed on the rear panel of your receiver and consists of twelve digits.
If the test discovers a problem with the LNB output, check an antenna signal operates before
contacting an authorized call center.
For problems with the phone line connection, be sure that the DIRECTV
connected to a phone line, and that the phone line is working. (Try plugging a telephone into
the line you are using for the DIRECTV ® HD Receiver; check to see if the phone gets a dial
tone. If so, the line is working.)
