This section describes how to connect the receiver’s
H
OME
D
ISTRIBUTION
connection to
one or more cable-ready remote TV(s) located in another room away from the receiver.
You can use these instructions to connect TVs in your home to see programming from
TV1 or TV2. This installation uses your in-home coaxial cable system. If your home does
not have built-in cabling, it will be necessary to run these cables from the receiver to each
remote TV. Due to the potential complexity of this installation, you should consider having
this professionally installed. Call DISH 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 kit that uses UHF Pro signals instead of IR. Call your DISH retailer or visit
the www.mydish.com website.
When connecting to the
H
OME
D
ISTRIBUTION
coaxial port, you must meet the FCC
requirements listed in the Appendix. To meet these requirements, your receiver includes a
software-based radio-frequency (RF) attenuator:
•
If connecting to your in-home cabling system to distribute the signal to one or more
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 TV tuner port located relatively nearby, you must enable the
attenuator between the receiver’s
H
OME
D
ISTRIBUTION
port and the TV tuner.
1
Connect the tuner input port of the remote TVs in other rooms to an existing wall cable
outlet using a coaxial cable.
2
Turn on every remote TV that is to be connected to the in-home cabling system.
3
Find three channels next to each other on one of your remote TVs that do not pick up any
signals from local over-the-air or cable broadcasts (they should show nothing but snow or
static). These channels must fall in one of the two ranges below. For example, if you find
that cable channels 75, 76, and 77 do not pick up any broadcasts, pick these channels
since they fall into the range listed below for cable channels. Make sure these three
channels on other remote TVs also do not pick up broadcast signals.
•
Air Mode
—Select a channel between 21 and 69 if your TV(s) will be set to Air Mode.
•
Cable Mode
—Select a channel between 73 and 125 if your TV(s) will be set to Cable
Mode.
If you have an over-the-air antenna or cable connected to your in-
home cabling system, see
Connecting an Over-the-Air Antenna
on
page 125.
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
image from the receiver. See your TV user’s guide for instructions.
