Installing a DISH Pro Receiver in an Existing System

These instructions guide you through the installation of your new DISH Pro satellite receiver in an existing system where your satellite dish(es) has already been installed and pointed for the strongest possible signal. If your DISH Pro dish antenna(s) is not already installed, you will need to follow the Installation Instructions found in Chapter 4.

There are two dish antenna systems that are covered by these installation instructions.

•DISH Pro antenna systems which have the DISH Pro logo shown below.

•Legacy antenna systems which do not have the DISH Pro logo.

Installation Instructions

1.Connect an RG-6 coaxial cable (see notes below) from the SAT IN port on the receiver's back panel to an available port on your switch or LNBF in your existing system. See Chapter 4 wiring diagrams for appropriate receiver connections in your system. See Running Coaxial Cabling. Peel off the blue sticker and affix it to the cable close to where it connect to the SAT IN connection on the back of the receiver.

Note: If you are installing a DISH Pro receiver into a system with DISH Pro LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF and the receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz." If you have any doubt about this, ask your Dish retailer, or look on the container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F- connectors.

Note: If you are installing the DISH Pro receiver into a system with Legacy LNBFs and/or switches (that do not have a DISH Pro logo), you can have as much as 100 feet of cable between the LNBF and the receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 cable - do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.

Tip: Using cable labels makes it easy to tell which cables connect to the receiver ports.
