DISH® Receiver Setup for MP1Antenna

DISH receivers will often not show when they are on signal if they have incorrect “Check Switch” information. For this reason, DISH users must clear current settings before pointing. To do this for most DISH receivers, follow these steps. The following instructions are based on a ViP® 211 receiver.

If your receiver differs from the options shown, you may need to consult your receiver manual. The wording and display used in your receiver may differ slightly.
