Connecting to the Remote TVs (TV1 or TV2)
CONNECTING TO THE REMOTE TVS (TV1 OR TV2)
This section describes how to connect the receiver’s HOME DISTRIBUTION connection to
the cable-ready remote TV located in another room away from the receiver. You can use
these instructions to connect TVs in your house to see programming from TV1 or TV2.
This installation uses your in-home cable system. If your house does not have built-in
cabling, it will be necessary to run cables from the receiver to each remote TV. Due to the
difficulty of this installation, you should consider having this professionally installed. Call
DISH Network at 1-800-333-DISH (3474).
If you’re using TV1 in a room away from the receiver, be sure to order the replacement
remote control that uses UHF Pro signals instead of IR. Call your DISH Network retailer or
go to www.dishnetwork.com
, select Shop, and then click on Accessories.
When connecting to the H
OME DISTRIBUTION coaxial port, you must meet the FCC
requirements in the Appendix. To meet these requirements, your receiver includes a
software-based attenuator:
• If connecting to your in-home cabling system to distribute the signal to a TV(s) in other
rooms, in most cases you will not have to enable the attenuator on the H
OME
D
ISTRIBUTION port for typical in-home cabling systems.
• If connecting directly to a nearby TV tuner port, you must enable the attenuator
between the H
OME DISTRIBUTION port and the TV tuner.
1 Connect the tuner input of the remote TVs in other rooms to an existing wall cable outlet
using a coaxial cable.
2 Turn on every remote TV connected to the in-home cabling system.
If you have an over-the-air antenna or cable connected to your in-
home cable system, see Connecting an Over-the-Air Antenna on
page 117 .
Make sure you are familiar with how to change channels on your TV
and if necessary how to switch your TV between over-the-air and
cable channels. During this procedure, it will be necessary to change
the channels on your TV(s) to tune to these channels to see the video
from the receiver. See your TV user’s guide for instructions.
