panel button or remote control, try one of these:
Press the red RESET button behind the access card panel door on the front of the
DIRECTV Receiver, then wait for program guide information to be acquired.

Running the System Test (later in this section) can also help you diagnose and solve many
common problems.

Problems with Caller ID
You must subscribe to Caller ID service through your local phone company.
Also, check to be sure your Caller ID feature is turned on (see page 46).
If you are plugging your receiver to a wireless phone jack, note that it typically does not transmit Caller ID
information and you may need a special wireless phone jack to use with Caller ID service. See the user’s manual
that came with the wireless phone jack to see if it transmits Caller ID information. If it doesn’t, either connect the
phone line directly to a standard wall-mount phone jack or install a wireless phone jack that transmits Caller ID
information.
DIRECTV Receiver will not turn on
Check to make sure the power cord is plugged into the DIRECTV Receiver and the wall outlet.
Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in
something else.
Make sure the remote control is on DIRECTV mode, and press TV POWER ON.
Press TV POWER ON, then press it a second time.
Check batteries in remote control.
Be sure remote control is pointed at remote sensor, and front of receiver is not blocked.
Unplug the receiver. Wait fi ve minutes. Plug it in again.
