Installing the Receiver in an Existing Dish Antenna System
Before you can begin connecting your receiver to your dish antenna, you must
first complete the preceding section on connecting your TV to the receiver. If
you are installing a dish antenna system for the first time, either call DISH
Network at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) or see the instructions that came with the
dish. Otherwise, if you already have a dish antenna system installed and peaked
for maximum signal strength, complete the following instructions to connect the
dish antenna system to the receiver.
1. Connect an RG-6 coaxial cable (see notes after this step) from the
S
ATELLITE IN port on the receiver's back panel to an available port on your
switch or LNBF in your existing system. Peel off the blue sticker and affix
it to the cable close to where it connects to the SAT IN connection on the
back of the receiver.
Tip: Using cable
labels makes it
easy to tell
which cables
connect to the
receiver ports.
Inside the front
cover of this
guide are
stickers that are
color coded the
same way as the
coaxial
connections.
