INTRODUCTION

The MT2 Over-the-Air (OTA) Module allows you to add two digital over-the-air tuners to your satellite receiver. This provides the ability to integrate over-the-air channels into the on-screen Program Guide of compatible receivers for seamless viewing by both the TV1 and TV2 viewers. If your satellite receiver is a DVR (digital video recorder), using this module will also allow you to record digital over-the-air broadcasts.

In addition, the MT2 OTA Module adds a Channel 3-4 coax output, for connection to standard-definition TVs.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Installation Considerations

The OTA Module is compatible with only specific receiver models. Refer to your receiver’s User Guide to determine if your receiver model can use the module.

The OTA Module is capable of receiving only digital over-the-air broadcasts, not analog.

These instructions assume that your satellite receiver is already connected to a dish antenna, and has the most current software. If not, you must connect the satellite receiver to your dish antenna and download current software, using the instructions included with those pieces of equipment.

A DISH Network programming subscription is required to receive over-the-air channels using the OTA Module.

The OTA Module does not provide pass-through of analog OTA signals.
