Dish Sat setup

Question

I am assuming that there is no way to view a test channel on Dish prior to activation.
211z appears to be working, but only provides a screen to call for activation. Therefore is it pay and then find the problems?

Tune to channel I think. You should be able push menu and get to the installation and diagnostic screens.

Channel 101, Dish info channel. Can be accessed before activation.

101. That’s what finger was supposed to type. I think you  need a card inserted too. Should have came with a new one.

Thanks, Card is there, will try 101.

Just so you know , You actually don’t “pay “ until they have it working. When you call to set up service they activate and walk you through the installation until you have verified all channels are functional. I’ve had them on the phone for 1/2 hour before others more  ( that’s why I think it’s so hard to get through ) :)
