just reset the dish system itself, should fix it

Answer 2

You are not the first person to do that.  You did not break anything.  Either the TV is set to the wrong channel or the satellite receiver is.  Usually when it says "channel not available"  the satellite receiver is tuned to a channel the customer did not pay to receive or there is no such channel available on the dish network.   Select a channel you normally watch.  Make sure the TV is set on the correct input.  See which input the receiver is plugged into on the back of the set and choose accordingly.  I seriously doubt there is anything wrong  other than that.  The owner probably will know how to reset things if you cannot.  I hope that is of some help.  If you need more help leave another question on here for "Bud".  I will answer asap.

I don't know if you have your book manual for your sateliite system.If you do then its probably have some solution for your problem.Give it a try first and read that manual closely and follow the instructions.
