Updating the program guide on your Dish Network satellite TV is necessary to view updated TV listings. Most digital cable equipment usually updates the program guide automatically when the TV is off or inactive over a long period of time. However, if your TV is constantly running and you notice that your program guide is not current, you can manually update your Dish Network program guide by rebooting your device.
Step 1
Locate the "Power" button on the front of your dish receiver. Depending on the model of your dish equipment, the power button may be located under a panel on the front of the receiver.
