Connecting a Broadband Internet Connection

ONNECTING A
If you have broadband (high-speed) Internet access at home, connect your receiver to
your home network. You can use this connection to order Pay-Per-View programming
using your remote control if you are not able to connect a telephone line. It also provides
access to additional content not usually available through your satellite TV subscription.
Refer to the mydish.com/getconnected website for detailed instructions on methods for
making this type of connection.

DishCOMM is a robust network technology based on the HomePlug 1.0 standard that
allows compatible DISH satellite receivers to send and receive data via the power lines in
your home.
DishCOMM allows one or more receivers to "share" another receiver's phone connection
(see step 4, below), or to use a DishCOMM Modem connected to the phone line (see step
5, below), which eliminates the need for a physical phone-line connection to a receiver.
DishCOMM-compatible receivers also can use a HomePlug-to-Ethernet Adapter (if it is
HomePlug 1.0 or HomePlug Turbo compatible) to connect to a broadband home network
for additional features. See Connecting a Broadband Internet Connection.
Creating a DishCOMM Network
To enable communication between DishCOMM-compatible receivers and DishCOMM
equipment, you must create a DishCOMM Network. Create a DishCOMM Network by
"adding" compatible receivers and equipment (such as a DishCOMM Modem). Use a
single receiver to enter the receiver (and modem) IDs on the DishCOMM Setup screen.
1
Access the DishCOMM Setup screen (press the MENU button, then select System Setup,
Installation, and finally DishCOMM Setup).
2
Select Scan and wait for the receiver to find any compatible DishCOMM equipment.
– For receivers, you'll see the Receiver ID number from the System Info screen.
– For receivers that may not be on your own household's network, the system will
ask you if you want to add them to your DishCOMM Network anyway.
– For the DishCOMM Modem, it will be added automatically.
3
After all the equipment is added to the DishCOMM Network, select Test to test the
network, or Done to save your changes to the DishCOMM Setup screen. (Refer to the
mydish.com/support website for additional information on DishCOMM or HomePlug
testing.)
