long as you use only RG-6 cables. Also, be sure that any outdoor
connections are made using waterproof “F-connectors.”
1. Once you have the dish mounted, per the instructions Installing a DISH
500 Antenna that begin on page 59, thread the coaxial cable through the
support arm, mast (optional), and the Y-bracket. If you are planning on
adding a second satellite receiver, thread another cable through the
support arm and the Y-bracket. The cable should be long enough to reach
from the LNBF on the satellite dish to the receiver (refer to Ground the
System beginning on page 90 for detailed cabling instructions).
2. Attach the Y-bracket, using the Y-bracket screw.
3. Connect the RG-6 cable from the Satellite In connection on the back of
the receiver directly to the DISHPro Twin LNBF, as shown below. Be
sure there are no multi-dish switches between the LNBF and the receiver.
4. Attach the LNBF to the Y-bracket using the two LNBF screws.
5. Slide the dish assembly down on the mast. Make sure the pivot bolt rests
on the top of the mast. Turn the dish assembly so that it points in the
general direction of the satellite, using the azimuth angle form page 60.
6. Turn On the television and the receiver.The Point Dish/Signal menu
