1
Before you can begin connecting your receiver to your dish antenna, you must first com-
plete the preceding sections to connecting your TVs to the receiver.
2
Connect two RG-6 coaxial cables between the S ATELLITE I N 1 and S ATELLITE I N 2 ports on
the receiver’s back panel to two available ports on either the switch, DISH Pro Plus
Separator, or LNBF in your existing system.
Note: If you are installing your receiver into a system with DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus
LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF
and the receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated up to at least
2150 MHz. Some cables may say “Swept tested for 2150 MHz.” If you have any doubt
about this, ask your DISH Network 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 up to
at least 2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables
such as RG-59. Use waterproof F-connectors outdoors.
3
Peel off the blue stickers and affix them to the cables close to where they connect to the
S
ATELLITE I N 1 and S ATELLITE I N 2 connections on the back of the receiver. The stickers
are in the front cover of this guide.
4
On Remote Control 1, press MENU, select System Setup, Installation, and then Point
Dish to display the Point Dish screen on the nearby TV.
5
Select Check Switch. Select Test.
6
The receiver begins performing the Check Switch tests. When it is finished, the Installation
Summary screen displays.
7
Make sure that the information on the Installation Summary screen identifies your system
correctly and shows all transponders for all satellites in your system.
8
Select OK.
9
Select Cancel to exit the Point Dish menu. At this point, the receiver may walk you
through a procedure to download software. If this prompt displays, follow the instructions
and do not disturb the receiver until the nearby TV is displaying DISH Network video.
Otherwise, press VIEW LIVE TV. After a few minutes, you should be watching TV.
