If your receiver is not connected to the Internet, call
800-333-DISH (3474) to activate it with a DISH agent. Note that you will need to provide the receiver and SmartCard numbers on-screen to the agent.
If your receiver is connected to the Internet, use your remote to enter your ZIP Code and either your DISH account number (located in
My Account Summary or the upper-right corner of your DISH bill) or your previous receiver's ID (located on a label on the back of your old receiver). Once entered, select "Activate."
You will see a screen confirming that you activated your receiver successfully. The Install Wizard will then advance to the next screen automatically.
