Connecting an Over-the-Air Antenna
• Follow local and National Electric Code requirements for grounding the antenna.
• RG-6 coaxial cable is preferred for the A
NTENNA IN line. If you are diplexing the
A
NTENNA IN and SATELLITE IN cables, RG-6 coaxial cable must be used.
• You cannot use a diplexer to combine the A
NTENNA IN and SATELLITE IN cables if using
an amplified antenna.
If you have questions about over-the-air channels, contact the broadcasters, not DISH.
DISH does not broadcast over-the-air signals and so cannot do anything to change over-
the-air signal quality. However, the receiver's digital channel setup menus provide a signal
strength bar that can help you in aiming the over-the-air TV antenna for the strongest
possible signal.
