6. Mount dish, antenna, and spreader bracket assembly on pipe

and mounting clamp assembly (as shown in diagram E). Note

that antenna assembly can be rotated to clear any obstruction

or for fine tuning. The ANT2050X overall height can be adjusted

by resetting the 5 hole pipe using its other pre-drilled hole

(as showin in diagram F).

9.An external “separating” diplexer is used to separate the antenna’s VHF/UHF signal from the satellite signal before the coaxial cable is connected to the DBS receiver (as shown in diagram I). Connect the VHF/UHF cable from the external “separating” diplexer DIRECTLY to the TV’s 75 ohm “F” jack for best results! (It is NOT recommended to connect the VHF/UHF cable DIRECTLY to the DBS receiver since it will likely degrade VHF/UHF picture quality.) The satellite signal cable from the external “separating” diplexer should be connected DIRECTLY to the DBS receiver 75 ohm “F” jack. The DBS connection to the TV can be done with RCA type patch cords, which connect the DBS receiver’s Video/Audio Output to the TV’s Video/Audio Input. The best connection, however, is made using the DBS receiver’s S-Video

UHF/VHF Cable

FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

• Mount the antenna a minimum of 8 feet	In the attic
high (the higher, the better).

• The ANT2050X is an omnidirectional antenna; however as with any antenna, it performs best in locations where there is a clear path, or a “line of sight”, to the approximate location of the TV transmitters in your area.

Note: Even with the advanced design of this antenna, large obstructions such as canyon walls, mountain sides, and other man-made or natural geographic

objects can impair performance. Therefore, it is best to minimize any obstructions that block the “line of sight” by mounting the DBS antenna on the roof or on the highest possible point.

• When the DBS antenna is	J.
mounted less than 8 feet high,
the antenna can be mounted	"L" Pipe
on the side of the house, chim-
ney, or in the attic to achieve
the required height. Wood
screws or the included mortar
“anchors” can be used with the
antenna dish mounting clamp
(as shown in diagram J) to
mount the antenna on the side
of the house, the chimney, or
in the attic.
