CONNECTING TO YOUR DISH ANTENNA
1Before you can begin connecting your receiver to your dish antenna, you must first
complete the preceding sections on connecting your TVs to the receiver.
2Connect two RG-6 coaxial cables between the Satellite In 1 and Satellite In 2 ports on the
receiver’s back panel to two available ports on either the switch, DISH Pro Plus Separator,
or LNBF in your existing system.
Note: If you are installing your receiver into a system with DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus
LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the farthest
LNBF and the receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated up to at
least 2150 MHz. Some cables may say “Swept tested for 2150 MHz.” If you have any
doubt about this, ask your DISH Network 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 up to at least 2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use
existing cables such as RG-59. Use waterproof F-connectors outdoors.
3Peel off the blue stickers and affix them to the cables close to where they connect to the
Satellite In 1 and Satellite In 2 connections on the back of the receiver. The stickers are in
the front cover of this guide.
4On Remote Control 1, press Menu, select System Setup (6), Installation (1), and then
Point Dish (1) to display the Point Dish screen on the nearby TV.
5Select Check Switch. Select Test.
6The receiver begins performing the Check Switch tests. When it is finished, the Installation
Summary screen displays.
7Make sure that the information on the Installation Summary screen identifies your system
correctly and shows all transponders for all satellites in your system.
