Connecting an Over-the-Air Antenna
• You can add local over-the-air channels and assign them network affiliations. Once
you have done this, you can access the channels via the Program Guide or the
Browse Banner in much the same way as you would satellite channels.
Note: The type of antenna required depends on the channels used by, and the locations
of, the local broadcasters for your area. Visit www.antennaweb.org or contact a
professional installer to help you select a suitable antenna.
Make sure to follow the antenna installation instructions correctly. Ground an
outdoor antenna per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any local
electrical codes.
The audio/video quality on local over-the-air channels depends on the
distance and terrain between the broadcast station and your home, and on
the placement and quality of the over-the-air TV antenna you use. If you have
questions about over-the-air channels, contact the broadcaster, not DISH
Network.
Scanning for Over-the-Air Channels
With your over-the-air antenna adjusted for best reception, use these instructions to scan
for over-the-air (local) channels for the nearby TV.

Press the MENU button, select System Setup (6), and then Local Channels (9) to open
the Local Channels menu screen. If this is the first time you have opened this menu, it will
have no channels listed yet.

The scan will take a few minutes to complete. When it finishes, the results will show how
many channels the scan found.

Note: If the channel number says None, you have not yet assigned this channel a network
affiliation or name. The Arrow at the bottom left means that there are more channels listed
