require a DSS Plus receiver to receive broadcasts from multiple
satellites. If connected to the antenna’s RF1 connector, the DSS
Plus receiver allows you to switch channels using the remote
control. If you are a DIRECTV subscriber, but do not have a DSS
Plus receiver, or you are using a multiswitch, use the optional
TV/SAT Switch or a PC, as described in the following sections.
DISH Network Subscribers
Most DISH Network customers will need to manually change
satellites using the optional TV/SAT Switch or a PC, as described

switches between the Echo 1
