Hi there! My name is Kimberly and I form part of the Social Media Department with DISH. It is a pleasure to assist you today. If you just finished watching a DVD and need to toggle back to your DISH programming, you will need to place the TV on the correct channel or Input where it receives the DISH signal from. If you are at TV1, where the receiver box is located, the tv needs to be on channel 3 or 4. Depending on the cable that is running between the receiver and the tv, the tv may need to be on an input, such as video 1, 2, or HDMI Input. If you are at the TV2 location, where there is no receiver, then the tv needs to be on channel 60 or 73.

If you are using an HDMI cable, then the TV will need to be on an HDMI input

If you are using Component cables, your TV will need to be on a component input. (Usually Comp 1 or 2)

If you are using RCA cables, then the TV will need to be on a VIDEO input (Usually Video 1 or 2)

If you are using COAX cables, then the tv needs to be on channel 3 or 4 (If you are at TV2, then the TV needs to be on channel 60 or 73)

To change the Input on your TV, Press the clear Tv button located at the top once and then the Input button below it repeatedly until you get to the Input that will provide you DISH programming. Please know that we do not promise that our remote will control the Input feature on your TV. If your DISH remote does not work to change the Input, you will need to use the original remote that came with the TV or the Input/Source button on the TV itself.If you have any additional questions or concerns please let me know at: [email protected] for further assistance.
