Installing a Multiple Dish DISH Pro System
If you do not have good signal strength with
110
, go back to step 18, and
fine-tune the dish but with
110
selected instead of
119
. While the
110
and
119
signals will not be equal, you should be able to fine-tune the dish until
you have the strongest possible signal from both satellites.
23. Select
Cancel
to exit the
Point Dish
menu. An
Attention
screen will open
asking the mounting and positioning of your dish is complete with a
Locked
indication in the
Point Dish
screen. If the answer is yes, select
Yes
.
If the answer is
No,
you will need to repoint your dish following the
preceding steps until the mounting and positioning is complete and you do
have the
Locked
indication
.
24. After you select
Yes
, the receiver will begin taking a software upgrade. You
will see a
Warning
that
Vital program information will now be
downloaded into your receiver
. You will also see a status bar showing the
progress of this upgrade.
Once the software upgrade is complete, you will see a message that your
receiver’s memory is being upgraded.
Do not disturb the receiver while the receiver’s memory is being upgraded.
25. When the memory upgrade is complete, you should be watching TV. Your
dish antenna installation is now complete.
Note
: If you are installing other DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus receivers, be
sure to run
Check Switch
on all of them, and allow them to take the
necessary software upgrade.
Installing a Multiple Dish DISH Pro System
Note
: You cannot use DISH Pro LNBFs and switches (those marked with the
DISH Pro logo) with Legacy switches and LNBFs (those without the DISH Pro
logo). You must install your DISH antenna system with either all DISH Pro
LNBFs and switches or all Legacy LNBFs and switches. If you mix the two, the
system will not work.
Note
: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DISH Pro LNBF
and the DISH Pro receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables
rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz."
If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH retailer, examine the cable’s
outer jacket, or look on the container the cable came in. Do not use cable
company TV cables or cables from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-
2150 MHz. These other cables may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables
such as RG-59. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using
waterproof F-connectors.
Once you have installed the DISH 500 with its DISH Pro Twin LNBF using the
preceding instructions, you can add a single satellite dish with a DISH Pro
LNBF and switch as follows:
1. Turn on the television and the receiver if they are not already on. You
should see the
Point Dish
screen. If not, open the
Main Menu
and press
