MAGELLAN MSS UNIVERSAL BRACKET INSTALLATION

 

(FOR DIRECTV & DISH NETWORK) 

 
 

The Universal Bracket (sometimes referred 
to a “Bird-on-the-Wire” or BOW) will 
allow a Direcway dish customer to watch 
DirecTV at the same time they are surfing 
the Internet. 
 
The Universal Bracket is just an LNB that 
connects the customers DirecTV receiver 
to the MSS.  Before you perform an 
installation, you must be aware of which 
DirecTV satellite the customer is using. 
 

 
The Universal Bracket Kit will connect the customer to a wide variety of TV satellites, the most 
common is DirecTV satellite 101. 

 

The first step in installation is to raise the 
satellite dish, and then 

unplug

 both the 

MSS and the Direcway Satellite Modem.  
You do not want to install a Universal 
Bracket if the dish is active in any way. 

 
 

 
Next, you will need to determine which side of the dish arm you will attach the bracket to.
