Installing a Multiple Dish DishPro system
and 119 West signals will not be equal, you should be able to fine-tune
the dish until you have the strongest possible signal from both
satellites. When you have finished this, select Check Switch. When the
Check Switch menu opens, select Check to run Check Switch again.
15. Select Cancel to exit the Point Dish/Signal menu. An Attention screen
will open asking the mounting and positioning of your dish is complete
with a “Locked” indication in the Point Dish/Signals screen. If the answer
is yes, select Yes.
If the answer is No, you will need to repoint your dish following the
preceding steps until the mounting and positioning is complete and you
do have the “Locked” indication.
16. After you select Yes, the receiver will begin taking a software upgrade.
You will see a Warning that “Vital program information will now be
downloaded into your receiver.” You will also see a status bar showing
the progress of this upgrade.
17. Once the software upgrade is complete, you will see a message that your
receiver’s memory is being upgraded.
While this message is displaying, the green power light on the receiver’s
front panel will blink. Do not disturb the receiver while the green light is
blinking.
This message may disappear, your screen may go blank for a few minutes,
and the green light may continue to blink. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem with the receiver.
If you will be installing a multi-dish system, follow the instructions that
begin below. If not, skip to the section that begins on page 90 titled
Grounding the System for instructions on how to ground your system.
INSTALLING A MULTIPLE DISH DISHPRO SYSTEM
Important: You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those marked with
the DishPro logo) together with Legacy switches and LNBFs (those without
the DishPro logo).You must install your DISH antenna system with either all
DishPro LNBFs and switches or all Legacy LNBFs and switches. If you mix
the two, the system will not work.
Note
: Since you are installing an all-DishPro system, you can have
as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF and the receiver so
long as you use only RG-6 coaxial cables
rated for 950 to 2150 MHz.
Some cables may say “Swept tested for 2150 MHz.” If you have
any doubt about this, ask your Dish 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.”
