DISH Receiver Setup

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. Note that if this is the first time using the receiver, the receiver may automatically jump to step 4 of the instructions below.

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.

Connecting to the Receiver

The RG-6 coaxial cable now runs through the LNBF arm of the satellite antenna. Items such as splitters, video switches, and wall plates will stop the satellite signal.

For this reason, connect the coaxial cable directly from the satellite antenna to the “Satellite In” port on the back of the satellite receiver.
