Installing the Receiver in an Existing Dish Antenna System

Before you can begin connecting your receiver to your dish antenna, you must first complete the preceding section on connecting your TV to the receiver. If you are installing a dish antenna system for the first time, either call DISH Network at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) or see the instructions that came with the dish. Otherwise, if you already have a dish antenna system installed and peaked for maximum signal strength, complete the following instructions to connect the dish antenna system to the receiver.

1.Connect an RG-6 coaxial cable (see notes after this step) from the

SATELLITE IN port on the receiver's back panel to an available port on your switch or LNBF in your existing system. Peel off the blue sticker and affix it to the cable close to where it connects to the SAT IN connection on the back of the receiver.

Tip: Using cable labels makes it easy to tell which cables connect to the receiver ports. Inside the front cover of this guide are stickers that are color coded the same way as the coaxial connections.
