dish network smart card: A vital information source
When you buy a Satellite TV system, you need a special dish
network smart card that is programmed for you to access
all the channels. A dish network smart card contains vital
information and can also be reprogrammed. We'll discuss
this more below.

What Satellite TV and a dish network smart card do for us
today is quite remarkable and is changing the way we
interact and watch television. Imagine these satellite
dishes some 24,000 plus miles above the earth transmitting
hundreds of channels to our TV sets. For viewing choices,
they are unbeatable and because of digital technology, the
picture and sound are crystal clear.
Both your dish network smart card numbers and receiver
numbers contain vital information, which helps your system
receive the network programming. You will also need these
numbers to "activate" or "re-start"
your system. To retrieve these numbers: Turn your TV, VCR
(if applicable) and satellite receiver to the
"ON" position. Press the "menu" button
on your satellite remote control. Press the number
"6", then the number "1" and then the
number "3". Your smart card number (S) and
receiver number (R) will appear followed by a series of
0's. You can always access these numbers by following the
procedure, but you may want to make a written note of the
numbers to make them easier to retrieve during technical
updates
Satellite TV and your dish network smart card were designed
for those of you who want to take control of your TV
viewing...who have channel surfing-hungry thumbs...who
want more sports, movies, news and family programming than
you are likely to get on cable or any other mini-dish
service.
