Dish Antenna Installation
Note
: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DISH Pro LNBF 
and the DISH Pro receiver. However, you must 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 Network retailer, examine the 
cable’s outer jacket, 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.
9. Attach the Y-bracket, using the Y-bracket screw. 
10. Connect the RG-6 cables from the two S

 connections on the back of 
the receiver directly to the two ports of the DISH Pro Twin LNBF, as shown 
below. Be sure there are no multi-dish switches between the LNBF and the 
receiver.
Tighten all of the coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use a 
wrench, you may over-tighten the connections and damage your 
equipment. Such damage is not covered by the limited warranty.
11. Attach the LNBF to the Y-bracket using the two LNBF screws.
12. You should see the 
Point Dish 
menu on your nearby TV. If not press MENU 
and then 6-1-1 on Remote Control 1.
13. Select 
Check Switch
. The 
Check Switch
 screen will open.
14. Select
 Retest
