Connecting to a Switch
The DISH 1000 LNBFs can be connected to provide 119°W, 110°W, and 129°W satellite signals to a DISH
Pro Plus 44 switch. In this installation, the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF
PORT 1 will default to the 119°W
position,
PORT 2 will default to the 110°W position, and the LNB IN port cannot be used. The DISH Pro
LNBF supplies the 129°W signal directly to the switch. Refer to the instructions provided with the DISH
Pro Plus 44 switch.
Note: The DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF is NOT compatible with the DISH Pro 34 switch in any installation.
To install the DISH Pro 34 switch, you must replace the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF with LNBF(s)
compatible with the DISH Pro 34 switch.
Special Downloading Instructions
Use these instructions directed by step 8 on page 5 to update dual-tuner receiver software.
Note: You will need a DISH Pro compliant splitter to complete this installation. The splitter is used only
temporarily during receiver software upgrade and must not be left installed in the system.
1. Connect a single cable from either DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF port (
PORT 1 or PORT 2) to the LNB
port on a DISH Pro compliant splitter (not a DISH Pro Plus Separator). Then connect two cables from
the receiver ports on the DISH Pro compliant splitter to
SATELLITE IN 1 and 2 ports on the receiver.
This DISH Pro splitter in this installation is used only temporarily for upgrading receiver
software. This splitter must be removed and replaced with a DISH Pro Plus Separator
following software upgrade or else the system will not work properly.
2. Display the
Point Dish/Signal screen. Make sure the signal strength bar is green and locked for the
119°W or 110°W satellites on an odd transponder 11 or greater (for example, 11, 13, 15, etc.).
Note: If the signal strength bar is not green and locked, toggle the transponder number up one and then
back down one.
Do not run
Check Switch at this time. If you do run Check Switch by mistake, this situation
can be corrected by completing the following:
a. Disconnect all
SATELLITE IN cables.
b. Run
Check Switch.
c. When
Check Switch finishes, exit the Installation Summary screen back to the Point
Dish
screen.
d. Reconnect all
SATELLITE IN cables.
3. Exit the
Point Dish/Signal screen and follow your receiver user's guide instructions for taking a
receiver software upgrade. If exiting the
Point Dish/Signal screen does not start the upgrade process
as described in the receiver user's guide, then, turn off the receiver for at least 20 minutes (on most
receivers) to allow the receiver to take a software upgrade.
4. After the software upgrade is complete, remove the DISH Pro compliant splitter.
5. Return to page 5 and finish the installation starting with step 9.
