Intellian MIM - Installation and Operation User Guide
Introduction to Intellian Dish Network Multi-
sat Interface Multi-switch
The Intellian’s Multi-sat Interface Multi-switch (MIM) utilizes a leading-
edge technology which replaces the Dish Network DP-34 multi-switch.
The user oriented design of the MIM offers Dish Network subscribers
access to their favorite high-definition (HD) programs and switches
automatically between Dish Network 110°W, 119°W, and 129°W
satellites or alternatively between satellites 61.5°W,110°W, and 119°W.
If you are in certain areas of the east coast or south Texas, you may
not be able to view HD programs from the 129° satellite based on your
geographical location. Therefore, instead of selecting the 129° satellite,
you can select the 61.5° satellite which carries the same programs as
the 129° satellite.
Intellian recommends using a Dish Network model ViP211 HDTV
receiver for automatic satellite switching. The MIM module has four
receiver connector ports. Intellian’s MIM allows you to select which
receiver connected to the MIM will be the “Master” receiver. The
“Master” receiver will control which satellite the antenna is focused on.
You can simply choose your desired channels by using the receiver’s
remote control through the Master receiver, and the Intellian i-series will
automatically switch to the appropriate satellite.
