Connecting A Second Satellite Dish - Dish Network DISH 1000.2 Installation Manual

Connecting a Second Satellite Dish

After completing the previous sections to install the DISH 1000.2, use these instructions to add a fourth
satellite location from a second dish to the DISH 1000.2. The LNBF from the second dish must be a DISH
Pro Single or DISH Pro Dual looking at a DBS satellite location, or a DISH Network bandstacked LNBF.
Install and peak the second dish antenna using a peaking meter and the instructions that came
with that dish antenna. Skip any steps regarding taking a receiver software upgrade since this
was done in the previous section of the DISH 1000.2 Installation Instructions.
Run cable from the second dish antenna location to the DISH 1000.2, referring to the cable
requirements stated in step 1 on page 5.
Connect the coaxial cable between the LNBF on the second dish and the
1000.2 LNBF. Refer to figure 1 on page 2.
