Connecting an Over-the-Air Antenna
1 Connect the tuner input of the remote VCR to an existing wall cable outlet using a coaxial
cable.
2 Connect a coaxial cable from the output on the VCR to the remote TV’s tuner port.
3 Plug in and turn on the remote VCR and TV.
4 Tune the remote VCR to the remote TV channel that you use to watch satellite TV
programming (for example, channel 60) as set on page 104.
5 Write the channel number you tuned your VCR to in the previous step on one of the TV2
channel stickers. Place the sticker on or near the VCR. This sticker will remind you which
VCR channel to use to watch satellite programming. The stickers are located in the inside
front cover of this guide.
6 Set the VCR output to channel 3 or 4.
7 Tune the remote TV to the same channel that you set your VCR to in step 6.
8 Write the channel number you tuned your TV to in the previous step on one of the TV2
channel stickers. Place the sticker on or near the TV. This sticker will remind you which
channel to use to watch satellite programming. The stickers are located in the inside front
cover of this guide.
CONNECTING AN OVER-THE-AIR ANTENNA
If you want to receive digital channels from an over-the-air antenna in addition to your
satellite receiver programming, connect the over-the-air antenna into your TV distribution
equipment.
• The TV A
NTENNA IN on your receiver's back panel can be used to receive and view
programming on the nearby TV from an over-the-air antenna.
• Connect a VHF/UHF over-the-air antenna to the TV A
NTENNA port. Peel off the black
sticker and affix it to the cable close to where it connects to the back of the receiver.
The stickers are inside the front cover of this guide.
• The remote TV can view over-the-air channels only in Single Mode.
• For remote TVs receiving programming from H
OME DISTRIBUTION, the over-the-air
antenna needs to be connected to your TV distribution equipment. When adding this
connection, the FCC requires that you install appropriate equipment between the
over-the-air antenna/cable and the satellite TV receiver to prevent you from
accidentally retransmitting DISH Network programming (see FCC Compliance in the
Appendix). TV distribution equipment devices include coax panels, amplifiers, or
Super Home Nodes, and are available through many companies.
• You can add local over-the-air channels and assign them network affiliations. Once
you have done this, you can access the channels via the Program Guide or the
Browse Banner in much the same way as you would satellite channels.
