INSTALLING A LEGACY MULTIPLE DISH SYSTEM
When you have installed the DISH 500 with its Legacy LNBF(s), you
can add a DISH 300 with a Legacy LNBF to your system as follows
(please see the section titled Alternate Legacy Wiring Diagrams for
more information on wiring the system).
1. Turn on the television and receiver. You should see the
Point
Dish/Signal
menu. If you do not, open the Main Menu and press
6-1-1ontheremote.
2. On the Point Dish and Signal Strength menu, use the Up/
Down/Left/Right arrow buttons to move the highlight to the
Satellitefield and choose the satellite at which you would like to
aim, for example 61.5.
3. Enter your zip code in the
ZIP Code field.
4. The receiver displays the azimuth and elevation angles on the
menu. Write down these numbers as you will use them later in
this procedure.
5. Using these azimuth, and elevation angles, find a location for the
satellite dish. Then, use the elevation angle to find out how high
the satellite is in the sky from your location. Use the azimuth
angle to find out where the satellite is along the horizon (South,
Southwest). Make sure nothing blocks the line of sight to the
satellites.
6. Mount the satellite dish following the instructions that came with
it. Connect the RG-6 cable directly from the LNBF to the
Satellite In port on the receiver’s back panel. Make sure there
are no multi-dish switches between the LNBF and the receiver.
7. When the dish is mounted, you should still be on the Point
Dish/Signal menu. If not, open the Main Menu and press 6-1-1
on the remote.
8. Look at the Signal Strength bar. Turn the dish back and forth
very slowly, until the signal strength bar turns green.This shows
that you have found the signal.
Note
: If you cannot find the signal, turn the dish back to the
original azimuth setting. Then, loosen both elevation bolts just
enough to be able to tilt the dish.
