Installing a Legacy DISH 500 System
If the answer is no, you will need to repoint your dish following the
preceding steps until the mounting and positioning is complete and
you do have the “locked” indication.
10. When the software upgrade is complete, you will see a message that
your receiver’s memory is being upgraded.
While this message is displaying, the green power light on the
receiver’s front panel will blink. Do not disturb the receiver while the
green light is blinking.
11. When the software upgrade finishes, you need to return to the Point
Dish/Signal screen. To do this, open the Main Menu and press 6-1-
1ontheremote.
12. Select Check Switch from the Point Dish/Signal menu. When
the Check Switch menu opens, select Check. The receiver will
check your satellite system. After the system checks your installation,
an Installation Summary screen will appear. Verify that the 500
Twin is displayed, and the 119 and 110 satellites are verified. Select
OK.
13. At the Point Dish/Signal menu, select the 110 West option and
verify that you have a green signal strength bar with a locked signal.
• If there is no signal strength on 110 West, check your
connections and select Check Switch again. If there is still no
signal, confirm that your skew angle is correct, and start over
with step #6.
• If the signal from the 110 West satellite is weak and you do not
see a green signal strength bar, repeat steps #5, #7, and #8 to fine-
tune the dish until you have the best attainable signal strength for
both the 119 West and 110 West satellites.
14. Connect any other receivers in the system. Verify signal reception
from the Point Dish/Signal menu, allow the receivers to take a
software upgrade from the satellite, and then run Check Switch to
verify the signal from all satellites.
If you will be installing a multi-dish system, follow the instructions
that begin below. If not, you can skip to the section that begins on
