Installing a DISH 500 Antenna
23. 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.
24. 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.
Note: If you are installing other DishPro receivers, be sure to run Check
Switch on all of them, and allow them to take the necessary software
upgrade.
If you will be installing a multi-dish system, follow the instructions that
begin below.
Installing a Multiple Dish DishPro System
Note : You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those marked with the
DishPro logo) with Legacy (non-DishPro) 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 : You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DishPro LNBF
and the DishPro 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, 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 DishPro Twin LNBF using the
preceding instructions, you can install a DISH 300 with a DishPro LNBF as
follows:
1. Turn on the television and the receiver if they are not already on. You
should see the Point Dish/Signal screen. If not, open the Main Menu and
press 6-1-1 on the remote.
