 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. Call 
DISH Network at 1-800-333-DISH (3474).
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 Shop, and then click on Accessories.

 coaxial port, you must meet the FCC 
requirements in the Appendix. To meet these requirements, your receiver includes a 
software-based attenuator:

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. 
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 117 .
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.
