Installing a Multiple Dish DISH Pro System

If you do not have good signal strength with 110, go back to step 18, and

fine-tune the dish but with 110 selected instead of 119. While the

110

and

119

signals will not be equal, you should be able to fine-tune the dish until

you have the strongest possible signal from both satellites.

23. Select

Cancel

to exit the Point Dish menu. An

Attention

screen will open

asking the mounting and positioning of your dish is complete with a

Locked

indication in the

Point Dish

screen. If the answer is yes, select

Yes.
If the answer is No, you will need to repoint your dish following the

preceding steps until the mounting and positioning is complete and you do
have the

Locked

indication.

24. After you select Yes, the receiver will begin taking a software upgrade. You

will see a Warning that

Vital program information will now be

downloaded into your receiver

. You will also see a status bar showing the

progress of this upgrade.
Once the software upgrade is complete, you will see a message that your

receiver’s memory is being upgraded.
Do not disturb the receiver while the receiver’s memory is being upgraded.

25. When the memory upgrade is complete, you should be watching TV. Your

dish antenna installation is now complete.

Note

: If you are installing other DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus receivers, be

sure to run

Check Switch

on all of them, and allow them to take the

necessary software upgrade.

Installing a Multiple Dish DISH Pro System

Note

: You cannot use DISH Pro LNBFs and switches (those marked with the

DISH Pro logo) with Legacy switches and LNBFs (those without the DISH Pro
logo). You must install your DISH antenna system with either all DISH Pro
LNBFs and switches or all Legacy LNBFs and switches. If you mix the two, the
system will not work.

Note

: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DISH Pro LNBF

and the DISH Pro receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables
rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz."
If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH retailer, examine the cable’s
outer jacket, 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.
Once you have installed the DISH 500 with its DISH Pro Twin LNBF using the
preceding instructions, you can add a single satellite dish with a DISH Pro
LNBF and switch as follows:
1. Turn on the television and the receiver if they are not already on. You

should see the

Point Dish

screen. If not, open the

Main Menu

and press 6-

1-1 on the remote.
