DISH Pro & DISH Pro Plus Installation Considerations
Rev. 08/23/05Copyright © 2005 EchoStar Technologies Corporation, Englewood, Colorado 80112. All rights reserved.
LNBFs AND SWITCHES
• DISH Pro LNBFs work with DISH Pro Plus switches. The DISH Pro Plus Twin functions the same as a
DISH Pro Twin LNBF when connected to any DISH Pro Plus switch.
•Cannot connect DISH Pro Plus Twin to DISH Pro 34/DISH Pro 21 switch.
•DISH Pro Plus 44: 119°/110° on first (top) two ports.
• Legacy LNBFs and switches can never be used with DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus LNBFs and switches.
• The maximum recommended cable length is 200 feet from the LNBFs to the furthest DISH Pro or DISH
Pro Plus receiver; 150 feet for Legacy receivers.
• When mounting switches, position according to instructions on the label.
• Use drip loops to direct water away from F-connectors.
LEGACY RECEIVER INSTALLATIONS
• The DISH Pro Adapter must be used to connect any Legacy satellite receivers to a DISH Pro LNBF or
Switch.
o Legacy Receivers include:
 Models 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 2700, 2800, 3700, 3800/3900, 4700/4900
 DISHPlayer Models 7100, 7200
 All OEM-equivalent models (e.g. RCA, JVC, Phillips)
• The DISH Pro Adapter is NOT needed when a Legacy receiver is directly connected to a DISH Pro
Plus LNBF or Switch.
1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, JVC DVHS IRR, and DISHPlayer 7100/7200 model receivers do not
support 4 orbital location installations or reception from the 105°, 121°, and 129° orbital locations.
DISH PRO PLUS (DP PLUS) RECEIVERS
DP Plus receivers can be connected with a single cable to DP Plus switches or LNBFs when used with a
DP Plus Separator.
See the “Receiver LNBF/Switch Compatibility Chart” for details.
SINGLE-CABLE, DUAL-TUNER INSTALLATIONS
• Three DISH Pro Plus components must be connected together for this type of installation:
o DISH Pro Plus LNBF or Switch
o DISH Pro Plus Separator
o DISH Pro Plus (dual-tuner) Receiver
• Two single-tuner receivers cannot be connected to a DP Plus Separator – they are not DISH Pro Plus
receivers.
INSTALLATION MATERIALS
Materials used in a DISH Pro or DISH Pro Plus installation must be rated to 2150 MHz and pass DiSEqC
22 KHz tone.
These materials include:
• RG-6 cable
• Ground blocks
• Diplexers
• Splitters
• Line amps
• Barrel connectors
• Wall plates
• Surge protectors
DISH Network Retailers, please refer to the latest “DISH Pro/DP Plus Compatible Accessories List”
located on the Retailer Care Site.
