Installation Considerations

Follow local, state, and National Electric Code requirements for grounding the over-the-air antenna.

RG-6 coaxial cable is preferred for the OVER THE AIR ANTENNA IN connection. If you are diplexing the OVER THE AIR ANTENNA IN and SATELLITE IN cables, RG-6 cable must be used.

You cannot use a diplexer to combine the OVER THE AIR ANTENNA IN and SATELLITE IN cables if using an amplified antenna.

Reception of digital over-the-air broadcasts is outside of the control of DISH Network. If you have questions about over-the- air broadcasts, contact the broadcaster, not DISH Network.

Digital Transition Consideration

Although all full-power over-the-air stations are transitioning to digital- only broadcasts beginning February 17, 2009, there will be some broadcasters who will continue using analog signals after this date. Because the OTA Module includes digital-only tuners, stations that are still broadcasting analog signals cannot be received using this module.
