Dish Antenna Installation

Note: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DISH Pro LNBF and the DISH Pro 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 Network retailer, examine the cable’s outer jacket, 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.

11.Attach the LNBF to the Y-bracket using the two LNBF screws.
