receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950-2150
MHz. Some cables may “Swept tested for 2150 MHz.” If you have any doubt
about this, ask your DISH Network retailer, 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.

preceding instructions, you can install a DISH 300 with a DishPro LNBF as
