Page 8: About Satellite Television
User and Installation Guide BOUT ATELLITE ELEVISION 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.

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.

Then you must find a mounting site that provides an unobstructed signal path from the satellites to the antenna. Compass Recorder with built-in satellite receiver, connected to a TV ETERMINING THE...
Page 136 User and Installation Guide INDING THE IRECTION AND 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.
Page 137 INDING A LEAR INE OF "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.
Page 138 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.
Page 139: Discussion Of Potential Mounting Sites
Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites ISCUSSION OF OTENTIAL 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. Since installing the satellite antenna may involve drilling into the wall or roof of your building, or digging a hole and using cement, you should be very confident of the location before beginning installation.
Page 140 User and Installation Guide 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.
Page 141 Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites OUNTING THE NTENNA ON Materials Required 4 wall anchors, 1/4” 4 machine bolts, 1/4” x 3” "Brick" is defined as a solid brick wall or other structure. This does not include brick facing that is used on some buildings over the main structure. If you are mounting the satellite antenna on brick facing, see Mounting the Antenna on Siding on page 6-16.
Page 142 User and Installation Guide OUNTING THE NTENNA ON Materials Required 2 lag screws, 1/4” x 3” 4 lag screws, 5/16” x 2” We do not recommend mounting the satellite antenna on aluminum or vinyl siding. These materials can be structurally unsound, causing eventual shifting of the dish.
Page 143 Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites OUNTING THE NTENNA ON Materials Required 4 toggle anchors, 1/4” 4 machine bolts, 1/4” x 3” You can mount the satellite antenna on cinder blocks, whether they are part of a wall or the side of a building. The surface must be flat and even.
Page 144 User and Installation Guide OUNTING THE NTENNA ON THE Materials Required 2 lag screws, 1/4” x 3” 4 lag screws, 5/16” x 2” roof sealant You can mount the satellite antenna on the roof. This usually provides the highest available location. Attach the satellite antenna to a rafter beneath the roof surface.
Page 145 Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites OUNTING THE NTENNA ON Materials Required 4 lag screws, 5/16” x 2” You can mount the satellite antenna on a wooden deck, wooden beam, or other wooden surface.

Page 148 User and Installation Guide NSTALLING THE NTENNA 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.
Page 149: Installing The Satellite Antenna
Installing and Wiring Your System 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.
Page 150 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.
Page 151 Installing and Wiring Your System 11.Thread the LNBF cable into the cable hole near the mast foot, up the mast and out the top of the mast. Do not kink or pinch the cable. 12.Take the end of the cable coming out the top of the mast, and thread it up the support arm.
Page 152 User and Installation Guide 20.Pull the cable loop up into the top of the mast. NSTALLING THE NTENNA Skip this section if you are using the mast that came with the satellite antenna. Note: Materials Required cable ties You can mount the satellite antenna on a metal pole if necessary. This allows you a wider range of locations for installation.
Page 153 Installing and Wiring Your System Installing the Satellite Antenna 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.
Page 154: Grounding And Wiring The Satellite Antenna
User and Installation Guide ROUNDING AND IRING THE 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.
Page 155 Installing and Wiring Your System Grounding and Wiring the Satellite Antenna 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.
Page 156 User and Installation Guide 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. 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.
Page 157 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. 5. Use the cable clips to attach the cable to the side of the building.
Page 158 User and Installation Guide IMING THE NTENNA FOR THE 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.
