The following illustration identifies the ports on each de- vice. This diagram should be used for reference during installation.

Installation Considerations

Multiswitches, Signal Splitters, DishPro Adapters

If your satellite TV system is using multiswitches, signal splitters, DishPro adapt- ers (DISH Network), or other device, all these devices will prevent the SIRIUS signal from passing through them, therefore the SIRIUS signal cannot be com- bined with the satellite TV signal when passing through these devices. Instead, the SIRIUS signal and satellite TV signal have to be both combined and split either before or after these devices.

Stated in the simplest terms, between the Combiner and the Splitter, there can only be an uninterrupted length of RG-6 cable as shown in the following illustra- tion.
