ONNECTING TO
Connect your TV to the dish antenna using the previous sections before connecting the
receiver to the dish antenna.
1
Connect two RG-6 coaxial cables between the S
the receiver's back panel and two available ports on either the switch, LNBF, or DISH Pro
Plus Separator in your existing system.
Note: If you are installing your receiver in a system with DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus
LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF
and the receiver. You must use RG-6 coaxial cables rated up to at least 2150 MHz.
2
Peel off the blue stickers (found at the beginning of this User's Guide) and affix them to the
cables near where they connect to the S
the back of the receiver.
3
On the remote control, press MENU, select System Setup, Installation, and then Point
Dish to display the Point Dish screen on the TV.
4
Select Check Switch to go to the Installation Summary screen, then select Test.
5
The receiver begins performing the Check Switch test. When it is finished, the Installation
Summary screen displays with the results of the test.
6
Verify that the information on the Installation Summary screen identifies your system
correctly and shows all transponders for all dish antennas in your system.
7
Select Done.
8
Select Done to exit the Point Dish menu. If you receive a prompt that the receiver needs to
download software, follow the on-screen instructions and do not disturb the receiver until
the TV is displaying DISH Network video. The software download process usually takes
between 15 and 30 minutes. If you do not receive the software download prompt, press
VIEW LIVE TV. The receiver displays the "Acquiring Satellite Signal" message for a few
minutes, then will display video.
