UHF/UHF Pro Remote Control Reception Tips
• Make sure the satellite receiver’s remote control antenna and tip are away from metal objects, wiring, and electronics
(such as DVD players) located on a shelf above or below the satellite receiver. The remote control antenna should be
angled away so the tip is separated from the electronics by a couple of inches, if possible. Also, shifting the position of
the satellite receiver on the shelf may help.
• It may help to move the remote control antenna away from the back of entertainment center wiring and other
electronics using a length of RG-6 cable (3 to 5 feet).
• A 6 to 15 dB F-connector attenuator can be installed between the REMOTE ANTENNA port and the remote control
antenna to improve performance in certain circumstances. This works best for distances of up to approximately 75
feet within a residence.
• Combining the RG-6 cable extension with the attenuator may be necessary if the prior steps are not effective.
• If the previous tips do not help, or in cases of extreme distance or excessive obstructions between the receiver and
the distant TV location, review TIB number 144445 for additional steps to extend the remote control range (available
on the Retailer Care Site > Info Center Service, Hardware and Technology > Technical Information Bulletins (TIB)).
