UHF Remote Interference 13 - 53
UHF Remote Interference
If an approved external device is connected to a DISH Network ViP receiver and you notice degradation in the response
of the receiver to the UHF remote control, try the following steps, in the order presented, to correct the issue.
After performing each step, try using the remote again to see if operation has improved.
1. Placement and Cables
Placement:
External devices should not be placed on top of the receiver, as close proximity can cause UHF remote interference.
Move the external device away from the receiver and the UHF remote antenna connection points.
• Increase the separation between the receiver and the external device
• Place the device on a separate shelf from the receiver
• Place the Sling Adapter at on the rubber feet off to the side of the receiver
• Do not position an accessory so that it will block the ventilation openings on the receiver
As a general rule, the further apart you can get the attached device and the UHF antenna the better.
USB Extension Cables:
Sling Adapter and External Hard Drive:
• USB extension cables can increase interference if used on a Sling Adapter or an external hard drive
– Do not use USB extension cable with these devices
• Wi-Fi Adapter
– The USB extension cable can be used with the Wi-Fi Adapter
– One USB extension cable is included with the device
