INTRODUCTION 1 Introduction Introduction to Raymarine Dish Network Multi-sat Interface Multi-switch The Raymarine’s Multi-sat Interface Multi-switch (MIM) utilizes a leading-edge technology which replaces the Dish Network DP-34 multi-switch. The user oriented design of the MIM offers Dish Network subscribers access to their favorite high-definition (HD) programming and switches automatically between Dish Network 110°W, 119°W, and 129°W satellites or alternatively between satellites 61.
2 Dish Network MIM - Installation and User Manual Install the MIM INSTALL THE MIM Power Requirements You will need to wire the Raymarine STV series system differently than specified in STV series manual. These instructions require additional installation steps. The following instructions and configuration diagram will explain how to modify your system for MIM use.
