Connecting to the Remote TVs (TV1 or TV2)
CONNECTING TO THE REMOTE TVS (TV1 OR TV2)
This section describes how to connect the receiver’s HOME DISTRIBUTION connection to
the cable-ready remote TV located in another room away from the receiver. You can use
these instructions to connect TVs in your house to see programming from TV1 or TV2.
This installation uses your in-home cable system. If your house does not have built-in
cabling, it will be necessary to run cables from the receiver to each remote TV. Due to the
difficulty of this installation, you should consider having this professionally installed.
Contact DISH Network at www.dishnetwork.com/chat or call 1-800-894-9131).
If you’re using TV1 in a room away from the receiver, be sure to order the replacement
remote control that uses UHF Pro signals instead of IR. Call your DISH Network retailer, or
go to www.dishnetwork.com
, select Technology, and then select Remotes & Accessories.
When connecting to the H
OME DISTRIBUTION coaxial port, you must meet the FCC
requirements in the Appendix. To meet these requirements, an in-line coaxial attenuator
has been included with your receiver and may need to be installed using the following
guidance:
• If connecting to your in-home cabling system to distribute the signal to a TV(s) in other
rooms, in most cases you will not have to install the attenuator on the H
OME
D
ISTRIBUTION port for typical in-home cabling systems.
• If connecting directly to a nearby TV tuner port, you must install the attenuator in the
cable between the H
OME DISTRIBUTION port and the TV tuner.
1 Connect the tuner input of the remote TVs in other rooms to an existing wall cable outlet
using a coaxial cable.
2 Turn on every remote TV connected to the in-home cabling system.
3 Find three channels next to each other on one of your remote TVs that do not pick up any
signals from over-the-air or cable broadcasts (they should show nothing but snow or
static). These channels must fall in one of the two ranges below. For example, if you find
that cable channels 75, 76, and 77 do not pick up any broadcasts, pick these channels
since they fall into the range below for cable channels. Make sure these three channels on
other remote TVs also do not pick up broadcasts.
• Air Mode - Select a channel between 21 and 69 if your TV(s) will be set in Air Mode.
• Cable Mode - Select a channel between 73 and 125 if your TV(s) will be set in Cable
Mode.
If you have an over-the-air antenna or cable connected to your in-
home cable system, see Connecting an Over-the-Air Antenna on
page 116 .
Make sure you are familiar with how to change channels on your TV
and if necessary how to switch your TV between over-the-air and
cable channels. During this procedure, it will be necessary to change
the channels on your TV(s) to tune to these channels to see the video
from the receiver. See your TV user’s guide for instructions.
