Once the satellite antenna has been assembled, the RG-6 coaxial cable now runs through the feed arm of the home
digital satellite antenna. The 50' RG-6 coaxial cable needs to be connected to the receiver. Connect the coaxial cable
according to the steps below.

Connecting to the Receiver

The satellite receiver powers the LNB by sending voltage up the coaxial cable.
Items such as splitters, video switches, and wall plates will stop the satellite signal.
For this reason, it is important to run the coaxial cable directly from the satellite
receiver to the satellite dish/antenna when searching for a signal.
Connect the coaxial cable directly from the satellite antenna to the "Satellite In" port
on the back of the satellite receiver.
Follow the instructions on page 3 to set up a DISH receiver or on page 5 to set up a DIRECTV receiver. If setting up
the satellite antenna and receiver for the first time or if setting up the satellite antenna at a new location, begin with
step one of the receiver setup, and proceed with every step. Consult your receiver manual for additional information
on receiver setup.

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. 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.
