Dish Network Solo 351 Optional Connecting to an Off-Air Antenna or Cable, Change the Address

Chapter 2

Receiver Description and Installation

Optional - Connecting to an Off-Air Antenna or Cable

If you want to receive channels from an off-air antenna or cable in addition to your satellite receiver programming, connect the off-air antenna/cable into your TV distribution equipment.

For the nearby TV receiving programming from CH 3–4 OUT, the off-air antenna cable needs to be connected to the TV ANTENNA/CABLE IN port.

For remote TVs receiving programming from CH 21-69 OUT, the off-air antenna needs to be connected to your TV distribution equipment. When adding this connection, the FCC requires that your install appropriate equipment between the off-air antenna/cable and the satellite TV receiver to prevent you from accidentally retransmitting DISH Network programming (see FCC Compliance in the Appendix).

TV distribution equipment devices include coax panels, amplifiers or super home nodes, and are available through many companies.

Tip: You can also use this procedure to change the Primary Remote Address for Remote Control 1 on a nearby TV, if necessary.

Optimize Your Remote Controls

Change the Address

When you receive your system, both remote controls and the receiver have been set to communicate on address 1. However, because UHF signals travel long distances and go through walls, a neighbor’s UHF Pro remote could control your receiver by mistake if they are on the same address. To handle this problem, you can change address on Remote Control 2 and the receiver as follows:

1.Make sure you turn on the TV.

2.With the receiver off, press CHANNEL UP or CHANNEL DOWN on the receiver’s front panel to display the System Info screen on a remote TV.
