Note: DishPro systems have LNBFs and switches with the DishPro logo
shown below.
Important: You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those marked
with the DishPro logo) with Legacy switches and LNBFS (those without
the DishPro logo). You must install your DISH antenna system with
either all DishPro LNBFs and switches or all Legacy LNBFs and
switches. If you mix the two, the system will not work.
Note
: Since you are installing an all-DishPro system, you can have
as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF and the receiver so
long as you use only RG-6 coaxial cables
Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz." If you have
any doubt about this, ask your Dish retailer, or look on the
container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables
or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150
MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing
cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections
are made using waterproof "F-connectors."
1. Thread the RG-6 coaxial cable through the mast (optional), support arm
and the Y-bracket. This cable should be long enough to run from your
receiver to your LNBF. See Grounding the System on page 91 for detailed
cable installation instructions.
2. Attach the Y-bracket, using the Y-bracket screw.
3. Connect the RG-6 cable from the DISHPro Satellite In connection on
the back of the receiver directly to port 1 of the DISHPro Twin LNBF, as
shown below.
