Initial Set Up for Off-Air Broadcasts or Cable

The 8VSB TV Antenna/Cable input on your receiver's back panel can be used to receive and view programming from an off-air antenna or cable service. This connection can support viewing both ATSC digital over-the-air broadcasts or analog NTSC over-the-air broadcasts. It can also support viewing analog cable TV service.

This input connection can only be used when your receiver is activated with qualifying DISH Network programming.

You can add local off-air channels and assign them network affiliations. After you have added channels, you can access the channels via the Program Guide or the Browse Banner in much the same way as you would satellite channels.

Connect an external VHF/UHF off-air antenna or analog cable TV source to the 8VSB TV ANTENNA/CABLE port. Peel off the black sticker and affix it to the cable close to where it connects to the back of the receiver.

Note: The type of antenna required depends on the channels used by, and the locations of, the local broadcasters for your area. Contact a professional installer if you are unsure about how to connect an external antenna to this input.

Note: Move all nearby off-air antennas away from the UHF remote antenna. Do not place an off-air antenna on top of your receiver.

The audio/video quality on local off-air channels depends on the distance and terrain between the broadcast station and your home, and on the placement and quality of the off-air TV antenna you use. If you have questions about off-air channels, contact the broadcaster, not DISH Network.

Make sure to follow the antenna installation instructions correctly. Ground the antenna per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any local electrical codes.

Tip: Using cable labels makes it easy to tell which cables connect to the receiver ports.
