Note: If you have a 7500 Whole Home receiver, perform the following steps on the 9500 Whole Home PVR.
- Restart the receiver
Press and hold the Power button on the front of the receiver for 5 seconds and wait for the receiver to turn on. - Check the power inserter
If you have an HD PVR or multiple receivers , a power inserter may have been installed inside your home to power your DPP44 or SW44 satellite switch. Check to ensure it is plugged into a power outlet. - Check the cables
Ensure that the satellite cables are connected to the SATELLITE IN port on the back of your receiver (some receivers have two). If the connectors at the end of the cables are loose, simply tighten them by hand.
