If using a receiver that is currently active or has been used previously, you will need to complete the setup by doing a Check Switch test.
Operation of Secondary Receiver When using a secondary receiver with the DISH® Playmaker® antenna, the secondary receiver does not have the full function of the primary receiver. The primary receiver will determine which satellite is viewed, and the secondary receiver will need to be set up for that satellite. If the primary receiver changes to a channel on a different satellite, the secondary receiver will lose reception and need to complete setup again on the new satellite.
Troubleshooting On Screen Mobile Antenna Setup does not appear Possible Cause Solution • No communication between receiver and satellite dish • Check wiring. Verify connection to Main port. Verify good coax. • Receiver software not compatible • Ensure a compatible DISH® Solo HD receiver is being used. • Connect receiver to fixed/home satellite dish for software update.
