Congratulations on the purchase of the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter. The SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter allows you to combine your Dish Network® or DIRECTV® signal with the SIRIUS® signal into one RG-6 cable, avoiding the necessity of installing a separate cable from the SIRIUS antenna to the SIRIUS receiver.
Box Contents Unpack your SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter and be sure that everything shown below is present. If anything is missing or damaged, or if your SIRIUS/ DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter fails to operate properly, notify the dealer or retailer where you purchased the product immediately. It is recommended that you retain the original receipt, carton, and packing materials in case you need to return or ship your SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter in the future.
Important Pre-Installation Notes The notes in this section are important and vital to the successful installation of the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter. Read this entire section carefully before proceeding with the installation of the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/ Splitter.
DISH Network Legacy Model LNBF There are three models of LNBFs which are found in DISH Network systems: • Dish Pro LNBF • Dish Pro Plus LNBF LNBF • Legacy LNBF Of these three models, the Legacy LNBF is not compatible with the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter. To determine which model of LNBF your DISH Network system is using, examine the satellite dish or the LNBF located on the satellite dish.
DIRECTV Systems ONE ORBITAL LOCATION TWO ORBITAL LOCATIONS THREE ORBITAL LOCATIONS FOUR ORBITAL LOCATIONS RECVR/TUNER RECVR/TUNER DP21/DP34 MULTISWITCH DP PLUS 44 MULTISWITCH The incompatibilities for DIRECTV systems are limited to two categories, namely, configurations using three LNBFs with a multiswitch which is not powered externally, and configurations using three LNBFs with a multiswitch co-located with the LNBFs at the satellite dish.
DIRECTV with Three LNBFs with External Multiswitch If your configuration uses three LNBFs, and has a multiswitch, the multiswitch must be externally powered to be compatible with the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter. Externally powered means that the multiswitch is connected to an AC outlet. LNBFs Examine your multiswitch to determine if it is connected to an AC outlet. There should also be a label on the multiswitch which specifies the external power requirements, if it is externally powered.
Configuration Considerations There are differing configurations which may be found in satellite TV systems. You should determine your overall configuration, and where you will be installing the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter in your configuration before proceeding with the installation. Generally, you’ll want to install it nearest to the receiver/tuner where you will be using your SIRIUS receiver.

3. Connect one end of the 3 ft. RG-6 cable (shown as F on page 3) to the device from which the cable in Step 2 was disconnected (i.e., the satellite dish LNBF, or the multiswitch, or the signal splitter, etc.). 4. Connect the other end of cable F to the Signal Combiner connector labeled DBS IN. When connected, be sure to slide the rubber boots on each end of the cable over the connections to protect the connections from the weather elements. 5. Connect one end of the 30 ft.
7. Connect the Power Supply (shown as C on page 3) to the Signal Splitter, and plug the Power Supply in a working AC outlet. This completes the installation of the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter. Power on your SIRIUS receiver and satellite TV system to verify that they are working correctly and that the installation was successful.
