Connecting the Receiver to a Dish Antenna System

Connecting the Receiver to a Dish Antenna System

Note: Before you can begin connecting your receiver to your dish antenna, you must first complete the preceding sections on connecting your TVs to the receiver. Then if you are installing a dish antenna system for the first time, see Chapter 4 - Dish Antenna Installation. Otherwise, if you already have a dish antenna system installed and peaked for maximum signal strength, complete the following instructions to connect the dish antenna system to the receiver.

Note: You will need two available receiver connection ports on your installed switch or LNBF to complete this installation. If these ports are not available, you may need to upgrade your system with different or additional equipment. See DISH Pro Wiring Diagrams in Chapter 4.

1.Connect 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 your switch or your LNBF in your existing system. See the wiring diagrams in Chapter 4 for appropriate receiver connections in your system.

Note: If you are installing your receiver into a system with DISH Pro LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF and the 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 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 for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Use waterproof F-connectors outdoors.

Note: Some receivers include a DISH Pro Plus Separator that can be used when installing the receiver with a single cable along with a DISH Pro Plus Switch or LNBF.

2.Peel 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.

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.
