Do a check switch first, by going to menu, 6, 1, 1. If everything is o.k. with your satellites coming in, hit done. You will go to the check switch screen where the signal strength bars are. Go to each satellite that you have and wait until the green bar locks on and identifys the satellite. Then hit cancel, all the way until the "acquiring satellite signal screen" shows. Let that do its thing, a picture should pop up or it will say that it is downloading the guide.
