INSTRUCTIONS & INFOReceiver not connected to internet or landline
To order movies and events with your remote control, your receiver must be connected to the internet or a landline phone. If your receiver isn't connecting, see below to fix. You can order a movie or event online at directv.com/movies. Learn more about On Demand and Pay Per View.
Receiver connected to a landline phone
If your receiver connected to a landline phone, try these steps.
- Refresh your receiver. Many issues can be easily fixed by refreshing your service.
- Check that your phone cable is connected to the phone port, not the Ethernet port.
- Unplug the phone cable from the phone jack and plug it back in. Make sure each end securely snaps in place. If you're using accessories that could have a defect (such as phone line splitters), remove them and plug the phone line directly into the phone jack.
- Test the phone jack by temporarily disconnecting your receiver's line and plugging in a regular phone. If you don't hear a dial tone, the problem is with your wall jack.
- If your phone jack is working, call us at 800.531.5000 to request a signal call back to the satellite.
