Installing a Multiple Dish DishPro System

Note: You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those marked with the DishPro logo) with Legacy (non-DishPro) switches and LNBFs (those without the DishPro logo). You must install your DISH antenna system with either all DishPro LNBFs and switches or all Legacy LNBFs and switches. If you mix the two, the system will not work.

Note: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DishPro LNBF and the DishPro 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. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.

Once you have installed the DISH 500 with its DishPro Twin LNBF using the preceding instructions, you can install a DISH 300 with a DishPro LNBF as follows:

1.Turn on the television and the receiver if they are not already on. You should see the Point Dish/Signal screen. If not, open the Main Menu and press 6-1-1on the remote.

2.Make sure the check mark is next to the satellite your dish will be pointed toward.

3.Select Peak Angles and then select the Dish 300 option.

4.Use the number buttons on the remote to enter your ZIP code to get the necessary azimuth and elevation. Write these numbers down in the spaces provided in the margin.

5.Mount the dish antenna following the mounting instructions that came with it.

6.Connect an RG-6 cable from the DishPro SAT IN connection on the receiver directly to the DishPro LNBF on the Dish 300. Make sure there are no multi-dish switches between the LNBF and the DishPro receiver.

7.Select Cancel to go back to the Point Dish/Signal screen.
