Setting Up Your HD Receiver

HD Receiver and Satellite Dish Antenna with Terrestrial Antenna or Cable Service

Follow these steps indicated by the diagram below:

1)Connect the RG-6 Coaxial Cable from the satellite dish antenna to the back of the HD receiver using the connector marked SATELLITE IN.

Optional Hookup: If you plan to combine an outside terrestrial antenna with the signal from the satellite dish antenna, obtain a signal Diplexer* from your local retailer of satellite accessories. Connect the RG-6 Coaxial Cable from the satellite dish antenna to the “power pass” input of the Diplexer. Connect the output of the Diplexer to the back of the HD receiver at the connector marked SATELLITE IN.

*Note: It is very important that you use a Diplexer that is designed to combine satellite signals and terrestrial signals. Standard signal combiners are not compatible.

2)Connect the cable from your terrestrial antenna or cable TV service to the HD receiver at the connection marked IN FROM ANT.

Optional Hookup: If you plan to record a terrestrial signal while watching satellite programming, or vice versa, connect the cable from your terrestrial antenna or cable TV service to the input of a standard two-way splitter as shown in the hookup diagram.
