Connecting a Second Satellite Dish
After completing the previous sections to install the DISH 1000.2, use these instructions to add a fourth
satellite location from a second dish to the DISH 1000.2. The LNBF from the second dish must be a DISH
Pro Single or DISH Pro Dual looking at a DBS satellite location, or a DISH Network bandstacked LNBF.
Install and peak the second dish antenna using a peaking meter and the instructions that came
with that dish antenna. Skip any steps regarding taking a receiver software upgrade since this
was done in the previous section of the DISH 1000.2 Installation Instructions.
Run cable from the second dish antenna location to the DISH 1000.2, referring to the cable
requirements stated in step 1 on page 5.
Connect the coaxial cable between the LNBF on the second dish and the
LNB I
N
port on the DPP
1000.2 LNBF. Refer to figure 1 on page 2.
From the
Point Dish
screen (accessed by pressing
MENU-6-1-1
on most receivers), run
Check
Switch
again on all connected receivers. On Legacy receiver models 2800, 3900, 4900, and
6000, select the
SuperDISH Installation-4Sat
option prior to running the Check Switch test. On
all other Legacy models, select
Test
. When the
Check Switch
procedure finishes, you should
see a summary screen similar to one of those shown below.
The DISH Pro/DISH Pro Plus summary screen below is similar to what should be shown for
DISH Pro and DISH Pro Plus receivers connected to the DISH 1000.2 when a second dish is
connected to the
LNB I
N
port. Make sure the summary screen shows reception from the 119°W,
110°W, and 129° satellites and the fourth satellite location on all available satellite tuners. If not,
re-peak the DISH 1000.2 or the second dish as needed to achieve the required signal levels.
Confirm the installed LNBF on the second dish is correctly identified.
The Legacy summary screen below is similar to what should be shown for Legacy receiver
models 2800, 3900, 4900 or 6000 connected to the DISH 1000.2 when a second dish is
connected to the
LNB I
N
port. Make sure the summary screen shows reception from 110°W,
119°W, 129° satellites and the fourth satellite location on all available satellite tuners. Note that
these receivers identify the DISH 1000.2 as
SW21 4-Sat
in this configuration, which is OK.
Note
: Legacy receiver models 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 7100, 7200 and JVC-DVHS (IRR)
may not detect and will not support signals from DISH Network bandstacked FSS LNBFs or
129°, and will not support a fourth satellite location connected to the
LNB I
N
port.
