How Do I Change the Provider Number on a Satellite Receiver?
When you set up an independent satellite receiver, it will connect via a satellite service provider. Each provider has a set of configuration numbers that allow you to connect to their satellite services. Most satellite receivers will now automatically set the numbers based on your satellite dish. Therefore, you do not need to manually enter the provider number; instead they will be updated when you set up the dish. Most satellite receivers follow a similar method for setting up the dish.
