DISH Network and Bell TV Wiring
Follow these steps to wire a DISH Network or
Bell TV configuration.
IMPORTANT!
Receivers must be DISH Pro-compatible. Look
for the DISH Pro logo on the box.
Connecting 1 Receiver
Connect an RF cable from the "Receiver" jack on
the back of the TV-Hub to the "Satellite In"
connector of the receiver.
Connecting 2 or More Receivers
Configurations for connecting 2-8 receivers
require a DC block splitter, configurations with
3-4 receivers can use a 3 x 4 passive multiswitch,
and configurations with 3-8 receivers require a 4
x 8 multiswitch (customer-supplied or KVH part
no 19-0573).
Wire the system as follows:
IMPORTANT!
If you want to enable any of the additional
receivers to control satellite selection, install
an optional IP AutoSwitch (KVH part no.
72-0634) inline with the RF input to each
desired receiver. Refer to Appendix B on
35 for details.
a. Connect an RF cable from the "Receiver" jack
on the back of the TV-Hub to the "Antenna"
jack on the DC block splitter.
b. Connect the "Primary" connector on the DC
block splitter to the "Satellite In" connector
on the first receiver, and connect the
"Secondary" connector on the splitter to the
"Satellite In" on the second receiver, or, if
connecting more than two receivers, connect
it to the "18V" port on the multiswitch (see
Figure 29).
c. When using a multiswitch, connect the
multiswitch outputs to the "Satellite In" jacks
on the associated receivers.
NOTE: See page 34 for an example wiring diagram
for connecting a multiswitch.
