Installation Considerations
• Follow local, state, and National Electric Code requirements for
grounding the over-the-air antenna.
• RG-6 coaxial cable is preferred for the
O
VER
THE
A
IR
A
NTENNA
I
N
connection. If you are diplexing the
O
VER
THE
A
IR
A
NTENNA
I
N
and
S
ATELLITE
I
N
cables, RG-6 cable must be used.
• You cannot use a diplexer to combine the
O

THE
A

A
NTENNA
I
N
and
S
ATELLITE
I
N
cables if using an amplified
antenna.
• Reception of digital over-the-air broadcasts is outside of the
control of DISH Network. If you have questions about over-the-
air broadcasts, contact the broadcaster, not DISH Network.
Digital Transition Consideration
Although all full-power over-the-air stations are transitioning to digital-
only broadcasts beginning February 17, 2009, there will be some
broadcasters who will continue using analog signals after this date.
Because the OTA Module includes digital-only tuners, stations that are
still broadcasting analog signals cannot be received using this module.
