ONSCREEN MESSAGES There may be times when you see an onscreen message similar to the one on the right. The top line of the message gives a brief description of what causes the onscreen message to display, while the second line displays instructions to follow. Most onscreen messages supply a code in parentheses. That code is used by DIRECTV Customer Service to help troubleshoot your call. The message at the right shows an example of trying to view a channel that you have not purchased or that is not in your programming package. To resolve the situation, call Customer Service at 1-800-531-5000 and mention the code when prompted. SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATES DIRECTV periodically sends system software updates to your receiver to improve performance and upgrade features and functions. These updates will occur automatically. The receiver will give you the option to download software "now" or "later." Software downloads take just a few minutes and should be allowed to proceed when possible. When a download is in progress, channels, interactive functions and applications will temporarily become unavailable. After the download is complete, the receiver may reset itself. Once the receiver download and/or reset is complete, you can resume using as normal. TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS 57 CHAPTER 5 - TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQS
