A 25 foot coaxial cable is included and recommended for use with the antenna.
If using an alternate cable, all cabling should be RG6 with a maximum length
of 50 feet from Playmaker to receiver.
Connect Coax to Antenna
Connect the provided coax cable from the antenna coax port to the “Sat In”
port on the back of the receiver. Tighten coax connection until finger-tight,
and then tighten a quarter turn more with a wrench.
Do not overtighten
.
Selecting Antenna Location
Choose a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the southern sky. Avoid
obstructions such as trees, hills, vehicles, or buildings — these can block the
signal from the satellite.
Do not place the antenna in a path of people or vehicles’ otherwise, the
antenna may be knocked off of the signal if run into, or cables may be
disconnected from the unit.
The antenna may take longer to lock onto signal if the antenna is not level.
Use Winegard’s Signal Finder App
with augmented reality to determine optimal location.
