Connecting to Your Dish Antenna
19
Disconnect the cable coming from the receiver CH 21–69 Out port from the splitter. If you
do not know which cable this is, go to the next step. Otherwise, go to step 21.
20
If you have multiple TVs on the cable system, do the following to determine which cable
on the splitter is coming from the receiver:
• If you have at least some picture on your TV(s), turn on all remote TVs connected to
the cable system. Disconnect and reconnect each cable one by one observing what
happens to the TV(s). When all remote TVs lose the signal, you have disconnected
the receiver’s cable. If only some or one TV loses the signal, then you have
disconnected a cable from the TV(s).
• If the above step does not work, disconnect one of the output cables and connect to
the splitter input. If you do not see a picture, connect the cable back to its output.
Repeat this step on every connection until you get a picture on the remote TV(s).
21
Reconnect the receiver’s cable to the input of the splitter.
22
Make sure you have a good picture on your remote TV(s).
23
If desired to remind you of which TV channel your satellite programming is on, write the
channel number you wrote in step 5 on a blank channel sticker and place it on or near
your remote TV(s). The stickers are inside the front cover of this guide.
24
Confirm Remote Control 2 controls the receiver. See page 79 for instructions.
25
Program Remote Control 2’s RECOVER to the channel you selected in step 5. See
page 91 for instructions.
