Dish DuoDVR ViP 722k User Manual

If you want to receive digital channels from an over-the-air antenna in addition to your 
satellite receiver programming, connect the over-the-air antenna to your ViP® series  
receiver’s optional tuner module, or to your TV distribution equipment. 

The M

 on your receiver's back panel can be used to install an 

optional over-the-air tuner module which may be obtained separately. The module 
adds the capability of receiving and viewing programming on the nearby TV from an 
over-the-air antenna. For more information about installing the optional over-the-air 
tuner, see the Over-The-Air Module Installation Instructions.

Once the optional tuner module has been installed, connect a VHF/UHF over-the-air 
antenna to the O

 port on the back of the module. Peel off the 

black sticker and affix it to the cable close to where it connects to the back of the 
receiver. The stickers are inside the front cover of this guide.

The remote TV can view over-the-air channels from the optional module in either 
Single Mode or Dual Mode. See Dual and Single Modes on page 12.

For remote TVs receiving programming from H

, the over-the-air 

antenna needs to be connected to your TV distribution equipment. When adding this 
connection, the FCC requires that you install appropriate equipment between the 
over-the-air antenna/cable and the satellite TV receiver to prevent you from 
accidentally retransmitting DISH Network programming (see FCC Compliance in the 
Appendix). TV distribution equipment devices include coax panels, amplifiers, or 
Super Home Nodes, and are available through many companies.

You can add over-the-air channels and assign them network affiliations. Once you 
have done this, you can access the channels via the Program Guide or the Browse 
Banner in much the same way as you would satellite channels.

Note: The type of TV antenna required depends on the channels used by, and the 
transmitting locations of, the local broadcast stations for your area. Visit 
www.antennaweb.org or contact a professional installer to help you select a suitable 
antenna.

Make sure to follow the antenna installation instructions correctly. Ground an 
outdoor antenna per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any local 
electrical codes.

The audio/video quality on local over-the-air channels depends on the 
distance and terrain between the broadcaster’s transmitting station and your 
home, and on the placement and quality of the over-the-air TV antenna that 
you are using. If you have questions about over-the-air channels, contact the 
broadcaster, not DISH Network.
