DISH Network 612 Manual Do Utilizador

Connect your TV to the satellite receiver using the previous sections before connecting 
the receiver to the dish antenna.

Connect two RG-6 coaxial cables between the S

 1 and S

 2 ports on 

the receiver’s back panel and two available ports on either the switch, LNBF, or DISH Pro 
Plus Separator in your existing system.

Note: If you are installing your receiver in a system with DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus 
LNBFs (and/or switches), you can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the LNBF 
and the receiver. You must use RG-6 coaxial cables rated up to at least 2150 MHz.

Peel off the blue stickers (found at the beginning of this User’s Guide) and affix them to the 
cables near where they connect to the S

 1 and S

 2 connections on 

the back of the receiver. 

3

On the remote control, press MENU, select System Setup, Installation, and then Point 
Dish to display the Point Dish screen on the TV.

4

Select Check Switch to go to the Installation Summary screen, then select Test.

The receiver begins performing the Check Switch test. When it is finished, the Installation 
Summary screen displays with the results of the test.

6

Verify that the information on the Installation Summary screen identifies your system 
correctly and shows all transponders for all satellites in your system.

Select Done.

8

Select Done to exit the Point Dish menu. If you receive a prompt that the receiver needs to 
download software, follow the on-screen instructions and do not disturb the receiver until 
the TV is displaying DISH Network video. The software download process usually takes 
between 15 and 30 minutes. If you do not receive the software download prompt, press 
VIEW LIVE TV. The receiver displays the “Acquiring Satellite Signal” message for a few 
minutes, then will display video.
