Yes, Dais offers more than 80 channels of high definition programming. In order to get the most out of high definition, you’ll need a television with a resolution of 720p or higher. Most televisions on the market today are 1080p resolution.

You will also need an HDMI cable or component cables to get the full use of high definition. High definition requires a different set top box. Dais also offers HD DVR service so you can record and watch your favorite HD programming.

If you are having trouble with the remote control for your set top box, please take the following steps:

1. Make sure the remote is set to work with your digital receiver by first pressing the SAT mode button.
2. If no lights work on your remote, it may be a power issue. Try changing the batteries.
3. If you are still having problems, please call our customer care team at + 1 800 376 9715 for further assistance.

First, reset the box. Unplug the box’s power, wait 30 seconds and plug the power back in. It may take a few minutes for the box to fully reset. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, please call our customer care team at + 1 800 376 9715

Dais offers download speeds of 100 Mb/s download and upload with speeds of up to 10 Gb/s.

Other Orlando Internet providers offer slower speeds. As you can see, Dais’ speed blows them away!

Also, our speed is consistent because of our state-of-the-art fiber-optic network. You’ll find with other providers that speed varies and can be significantly slower during “Internet rush hours.”

Yes, but we highly recommend you secure the router. We don’t offer technical support to configure your router, but we recommend you do take the following steps to ensure the highest security and best connection for your wireless network:

1. Never use wireless and a hardline connection from your computer at the same time. Use one and disable/disconnect the other.
2. Plug your router or other device into the port marked for Ethernet, Internet, Uplink, WAN, or Modem access, NOT the numbered ports (if your router has them). Numbered ports are for computers or other devices, not the wall jack or DSL modem.
3. The basic steps to secure your wireless router are:

• Change the SSID to uniquely identify your router.
• Change the administrator’s password on your router.
• Use encryption to protect your router and the information coming off it. This is very important. If you are going to do only one thing, this is it. Do not use WEP. We suggest you use WPA or better.
• Use MAC address filtering.

These are the most common fixes for Internet issues (unless there is a network issue occurring):

1. Reboot each device from the wall out. If you are using a router, disconnect your computer from the router and plug it directly into your modem or Ethernet wall jack, and again reboot devices from the wall out.
2. If you still cannot access the Internet, contact us for assistance at + 1 800 376 9715
