Receiver Description and Installation

Tip: Using cable labels makes it easy to tell which cables connect to the receiver ports. Inside the front cover of this guide are stickers that are color coded the same way as the coaxial connections.

Channel:

Air/Cable

If you have an off-air antenna or cable connected to your in- home cable system, see Optional - Connecting to an Off- Air Antenna or Cable following this section.

Make sure you are familiar with how to change channels on your TV and if necessary how to switch your TV between off-air and cable channels. During this procedure, it will be necessary to change the channels on your TV(s) to tune to these channels to see the video from the receiver. See your TV user guide for instructions.

1.Connect the tuner input of the remote TV(s) in other rooms to an existing wall cable outlet using a coaxial cable.

2.Turn on every remote TV connected to the in-home cabling system.

3.Find three channels next to each other on one of your remote TVs that do not pick up any signals from off-air or cable broadcasts (they should show nothing but snow or static). These channels must fall in one of the two ranges below. For example, if you find that cable channels 75, 76, and 77 do not pickup any broadcasts, pick these channels since they fall into the range below for cable channels. Make sure these three channels on other remote TVs also do not pick up broadcasts.

•Air Mode - Select a channel between 21 and 69 if your TV(s) will be set in Air Mode.

•Cable Mode - Select a channel between 73 and 125 if your TV(s) will be set in Cable Mode.

Note: The remote TV(s) will have to be set to the same channel mode, either off-air or cable channel mode for this installation. See your TV user’s guide for instructions on how to set your TV to off-air or cable channel modes.

4.Pick the channel in the middle of the three you selected in step 3. Write that channel down in the blank provided in the margin by step 5. For example, if the three channels you picked in the preceding step were air channels 60, 61, and 62, pick channel 61 and write it in space provided in the margin by step 5.

5.If your TV is in off-air mode for the channels you picked in step 4, circle “Air” in the margin. If your TV is in cable mode for the channels you picked in step 4, circle “Cable” in the margin.

6.Set all of your remote TV(s) to the channel mode (Air or Cable) you circled in step 5.

7.Tune all of your remote TV(s) to the channel you wrote in step 5. This is the channel you will use to receive your satellite programming.
