1 Introduction WELCOME! Congratulations on your selection of this satellite television system. Thank you for your purchase. You will be pleased with the performance, capabilities, entertainment options, and ease of operation of your system for many years to come. Your system complies with MPEG II and DVB standards for compressing audio and video data. Your system also features an advanced new recording technology called D-VHS, which records digital MPEG II satellite signals as digital data.
User and Installation Guide ABOUT SATELLITE TELEVISION Satellite television uses satellites orbiting in geosynchronous orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio programming. "Geosynchronous" means that the satellites stay aligned over one place on the surface of the Earth. Once your satellite antenna is aimed at the satellites, the antenna does not have to move to follow the satellites.
Introduction About D-VHS 1 ABOUT D-VHS The "D" in D-VHS represents Digital Data. As this name suggests, D-VHS is an extension of the world's most popular VHS home video format, which adds new digital recording (storage) capabilities that make it an ideal match for digital broadcasts. Like VHS, D-VHS is a tape-based format. Unlike VHS, D-VHS records digital signals as a digital bit stream (data) which is compatible with the MPEG II and DVB standards utilized by your satellite system.

Starting Your Installation 6 INTRODUCTION FOR MORE INFORMATION: If you do not want to install your system yourself, you can have it installed by a professional. Call the DISH Network Service Center at 1-800-799-7175 for information about installation in your area. If you do intend to install your system yourself, this chapter provides installation procedures. The procedures are relatively simple, but do require some skill in construction-related tasks.
User and Installation Guide SUMMARY OF INSTALLATION Following is a summary of the procedures to install and set up your system. Perform the procedures in the order presented. 1. Unpack the satellite antenna*, recorder, and parts (see pages 6–3 through 6–5) and the optional installation kit, if you purchased one (see page 6–7). *Supplied with HM-DSR100DU. Sold separately for HM-DSR100RU. 2. Review "What You Need" (see pages 6–6 through 6–8). Connect the recorder to your TV set. 3.
Starting Your Installation Before You Start Installation 6 BEFORE YOU START INSTALLATION UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS As you unpack the system, confirm that all the parts are included. See Package Contents below for a list of the included components. Note: Keep the shipping materials in which these items are packed, in case you ever need to return them. Unpack the contents carefully. Electronic equipment can be easily damaged if bumped or handled roughly.
User and Installation Guide COMPONENTS OF THE SATELLITE ANTENNA Note: The following pictures are not to scale. The fully assembled satellite antenna looks like this. Following are descriptions of each piece of the satellite antenna. LNBF (LOW NOISE BLOCK DOWNCONVERTER WITH INTEGRATED FEEDHORN) The "dish" focuses the signals transmitted from the satellites onto the LNBF.
Starting Your Installation Components of the Satellite Antenna 6 DISH The dish reflects and focuses the signals from the satellites onto the LNBF. Flathead bolts with nuts attach the dish to the support arm bracket. LNBF SCREW AND WASHER The LNBF screw and washer attach the LNBF to the end of the support arm. CABLE CLIP (OPTIONAL) The cable clip holds the coaxial cable(s) to the top of the support arm bracket.
User and Installation Guide WHAT YOU NEED WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Because you will make modifications to the location where you mount the satellite antenna, you should be somewhat familiar with and be able to safely perform the following procedures. l You should be able to use a plumb line or level to set both horizontal and vertical surfaces. This is especially critical for vertical surfaces. l You should know how to drill holes in the mounting surface (whether wood, brick, cinder block, etc.).
Starting Your Installation Optional Installation Kit 6 l Sledgehammer or small fence post driver l Drill and 1/2 inch drill bit - long enough to drill through the exterior wall of your building l Compass * l Silicone sealant (for sealing drill holes) * Note: You will need additional tools and materials, depending on the type of surface on which you mount the antenna. Each of the procedures for mounting the antenna lists these.
User and Installation Guide l Compass l Silicone sealant Tools, such as drills or screwdrivers, are not included in the Installation Kit. INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE Four AAA batteries, packaged separately, are included with the remote control. See Installing Batteries in the Remote on page 3-1 for this procedure. SETTING THE REMOTE ADDRESS When you get your recorder and remote, they are addressed to 1. Unless you experience problems, you do not need to change the address at this time.
Starting Your Installation Finding the Satellites 6 F INDING THE SATELLITES Before you can decide on the mounting location for the antenna, you must determine the approximate location of the satellites. Then you must find a mounting site that provides an unobstructed signal path from the satellites to the antenna.
User and Installation Guide FINDING THE DIRECTION AND ELEVATION When determining the approximate location of the satellites, you need to find the azimuth (South, Southeast, or Southwest direction to the satellites) and elevation (angle up to the satellites) from your location. "Azimuth" is also called "direction." This Guide uses the term "direction". Finding the satellites is easy. You first need to connect the recorder to your TV, and turn on the recorder and TV. Tune your TV to channel 3 or 4.
Starting Your Installation Finding the Satellites 6 FINDING A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT "Finding a clear line of sight" means finding a location for the satellite antenna so that its view of the orbiting satellites is unobstructed by trees, buildings, or any other obstructions. This includes making sure that sapling trees are not likely to grow up or out into the line of sight. Also, consider seasonal changes. An unobstructed site in winter may be obstructed by foliage in spring and summer. 1.
User and Installation Guide 3. Use the elevation number to find out how high the satellites are in the sky from your location. You know that vertical is 90°, and horizontal 0°, and halfway in between is 45°. Stand close to where you plan to mount the satellite antenna and face in the direction that you marked for the direction to the satellites. Using the elevation angle, find the closest approximation to that angle in the sky. You now are pointing to the approximate location of the satellites. 4.
Starting Your Installation Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites 6 DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL MOUNTING SITES When you are surveying your property for appropriate sites for the satellite antenna, keep in mind that you can mount the satellite antenna on a variety of surfaces: brick, cinder block, wood, some sidings, rooftop, or a pole.
User and Installation Guide l Place the satellite antenna as close to the recorder as possible. Use no more than 100 feet of cable between the recorder and the satellite antenna, unless you install a line amplifier to boost the signal. Otherwise, the system is more likely to lose the signal during periods of rain, snow, or heavy cloud cover. l Consider seasonal changes. The site may appear unobstructed in the winter, but spring and summer foliage could block the signal to the satellite antenna.
Starting Your Installation Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites 6 MOUNTING THE ANTENNA ON B RICK Materials Required l 4 wall anchors, 1/4” l 4 machine bolts, 1/4” x 3” Tools Required l drill l 1/2” masonry drill bit l 7/16” socket or box-end wrench l bubble level or plumb line l pencil "Brick" is defined as a solid brick wall or other structure.

7 Installing and Wiring Your System INSTALLING THE SATELLITE ANTENNA Once you have found the direction and elevation of the satellites and decided on the best mounting location, you can install the satellite antenna. Read through the Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites on page 6-13 before selecting your mounting location. ORIENTING THE MAST OR POLE It is very important that the upper part of the mast or the mounting pole, whichever you use, be truly plumb (that is, vertical).
User and Installation Guide INSTALLING THE ANTENNA MOUNT Assemble the satellite antenna in a safe location before climbing up to the mounting location. Use caution when climbing, and when working at the mounting location. Before you attach the satellite antenna to a mounting surface, you should make sure that you can route the cable from your chosen location into the building, drilling holes where necessary, to the recorder. 1. Gather all the items you will need for the assembly. 2.
Installing and Wiring Your System Installing the Satellite Antenna 7 4. Adjust the foot and mast so that when the foot is mounted, the upper part of the mast is, as accurately as possible, vertical. Use a plumb line or bubble level to make sure the upper part of the mast is vertical from at least three readings. Alignment of the dish is nearly impossible if the mast is not vertical. 5. Place the dish on the support arm. Align the flathead bolts with the dish support bolt holes on the dish supports. 6.
User and Installation Guide 9. Slide the mast clamp down onto the mast. Make sure that the pivot bolt rests on the top of the mast. Tighten the elevation bolts and the pivot bolt so that the bracket is snug, but can still be moved up and down. Pivot Bolt Elevation Bolts (one on each side) 10.Turn the antenna mount on the mast or pole to align the LNBF support arm in the direction of the satellites. Use the direction you found earlier using the Point Dish and Signal Strength menu.

Materials Required l cable ties Tools Required l post hole digger l cement l 7/16” socket or box-end wrench l bubble level or plumb line l pole You can mount the satellite antenna on a metal pole if necessary.
Installing and Wiring Your System Installing the Satellite Antenna 7 The most common method to install the pole in the ground is to use cement to secure it in the hole. Make sure that the pole remains at 90˚ from horizontal as the cement dries. You may want to use guy wires or braces to keep the pole steady.
User and Installation Guide GROUNDING AND WIRING THE SATELLITE ANTENNA As with any such installed devices, the satellite antenna and the coaxial cable(s) should be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local electrical codes to provide some protection against damage caused by lightning strikes and other electrical discharges. Even lightning strikes several miles away can generate enough electricity in the air to damage your system.
Installing and Wiring Your System Grounding and Wiring the Satellite Antenna 7 l Two pieces of No. 10 solid copper or No. 8 solid aluminum ground wire - long enough to run from the coaxial cable grounding block to the grounding rod. A typical installation requires two to three feet of wire. A ground wire must always be a single piece of wire. Never splice two wires together for a ground. Corrosion and weathering can lead to a poor connection at the splice, making the ground ineffective and dangerous.
User and Installation Guide l Refer to the grounding diagram on page ii of the "Important Product Safety Instructions." Note that this diagram suggests grounding the satellite antenna and coaxial cable to the power service grounding electrode system of the building. l If you install a grounding electrode system separate from the power service grounding electrode system, connect the separate electrode to the grounding system in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local electrical codes.
Installing and Wiring Your System Grounding and Wiring the Satellite Antenna 4. Attach the other end of the ground wire to a grounding electrode in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local electrical codes. Grounding Block 7 Coaxial Cable from Antenna Drip Loop 5. Use the cable clips to attach the cable to the side of the building. This helps prevent damage. The drip loops allow moisture to drip from the cables before being channeled into the grounding block or the building.
User and Installation Guide AIMING THE A NTENNA FOR THE STRONGEST SIGNAL Typically, once you see a clear picture on your TV, a stronger signal will not noticeably affect the quality. Keep trying to aim the satellite antenna for the strongest possible signal. The stronger the signal, the better your chance of uninterrupted reception during periods of rain, snow, and heavy cloud cover. Do this after the satellite antenna is installed, wired, and grounded.
