Dish Antenna Installation
Note: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DISH Pro LNBF
and the DISH Pro 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 Network retailer, examine the
cable’s outer jacket, 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.
9. Attach the Y-bracket, using the Y-bracket screw.
10. Connect the RG-6 cables from the two S
ATELLITE IN connections on the back of
the receiver directly to the two ports of the DISH Pro Twin LNBF, as shown
below. Be sure there are no multi-dish switches between the LNBF and the
receiver.
Tighten all of the coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use a
wrench, you may over-tighten the connections and damage your
equipment. Such damage is not covered by the limited warranty.
11. Attach the LNBF to the Y-bracket using the two LNBF screws.
12. You should see the
Point Dish menu on your nearby TV. If not press MENU
and then 6-1-1 on Remote Control 1.
13. Select
Check Switch. The Check Switch screen will open.
14. Select
Retest. The receiver shows you a message that it is checking the system.
