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.
Then, follow the instructions on the next page to set up the DISH receiver.

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.
