Installing with any Dual-Tuner Receiver
These instructions describe how to install the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF on a DISH 500 antenna
with any dual-tuner DISH Network satellite receiver such as DISH 322, DISH Player-DVR 522,
DISH 721 (supported with a future version of software), and DISH Player-DVR 921. Use these
instructions if you do not have the upgraded software on the dual-tuner receivers listed on page 3.
Refer to Figure 8 on page 11 while completing these instructions.
Installation Instructions
Note: You will need a DISH Pro compliant splitter to complete this installation. The splitter is used only
temporarily during receiver software upgrade and must not be left installed in the system.
Cable Limitations
• Only RG-6 coaxial cables rated for 950 to 2150 MHz can be used in this installation. Do not use
existing cables such as RG-59. These other cables may cause signal loss. Also, be sure that any
outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.
• If the RG-6 to be used in this installation includes copper-clad steel center conductor, one of the
following may be needed to complete the receiver software upgrade. After the software upgrade is
completed, the following measures are no longer needed for future receiver operation.
- Cable length must be shortened to 100 feet maximum.
- Temporarily install RG-6 cabling with solid copper center conductor up to 200 feet between
the receiver to the DP Plus Twin.
- Download the receiver software using an LNBF other than the DP Plus Twin, or prior to
coming to the installation site.
• Refer to Figure 13 on page 16 and the following for cable length limitations:
- The length of the RG-6 cable must be 200 feet or less between any receiver and the farthest
LNBF in the system including both cabling to the DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF plus any cabling
connecting an additional DISH Pro LNBF.
Locate and install the DISH 500 antenna using the instructions that came with the dish or
satellite receiver.
Run RG-6 coaxial cables from the receiver location(s) to the DISH 500 antenna using the
following table and notes:
