Best Answer

The dish on the outside of the house picks up the signal beamed down from the satellite in space. From the dish the signal is sent to the receiver. The receiver decodes the signal to provide the channels you subscribe to. If you aren't subscribing to a certain channel, a message will tell you so and that you can upgrade to the package with that channel.

You may not have your Dish satellite receiver on the correct channel if it is a duo (dual receiver). You will need to tune it to either 60 or channel 73. Also, make sure your power to your Dish Network receiver is on -- for the Dish TV duo receiver, you should see a light for TV2 and TV1.
