Operation of Secondary Receiver
When using a secondary receiver with the DISH
®
Playmaker
®
antenna, the secondary receiver does not have the full
function of the primary receiver. The primary receiver will
determine which satellite is viewed, and the secondary
receiver will need to be set up for that satellite.
If the primary receiver changes to a channel on a different
satellite, the secondary receiver will lose reception and need
to complete setup again on the new satellite.
NOTE
The secondary receiver’s program guide will only download
and display available channels from the installed satellite.
Using Outside Receptacle
If your outside TV receptacle is wired for satellite, you’ll need
to locate where that receptacle leads and connect that directly
to your satellite receiver.
If the outside TV receptacle is wired for cable, the wiring will
have to be modified for use with satellite. The coaxial cable
cannot run through any other devices or switches before the
satellite receiver.
Typically, if wired for cable, the wiring will either run through
a Winegard power supply or video switch. The easiest way
to fix this is to disconnect the cable from that device, use a
barrel connector, and connect a new cable that runs directly
to the receiver, bypassing the power supply or video switch.
Transporting
Before transporting the antenna, disconnect coax cable from
the main port.
Maintenance
The DISH Playmaker and DISH Playmaker Dual antennas are
designed to be maintenance free. However, it is a good idea
to periodically clean the dome with a soft cloth, water, and
dish soap
