DISHPRO INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
Designed for our newest series of products, DishPro Technology is a revolutionary way to install
systems and diagnose problems. This exciting new technology simplifies installations, saving
both time and money, and provides valuable tools for troubleshooting.
DISHPRO EQUIPMENT
• Receivers
- Dish301
- DishPVR 501, DishPVR 508
- DishPVR 721
- All future DISH Network receivers
• Components
- LNBFs
- DishPro Single

- DishPro Quad
- Switches
- DP21 Switch
- DP34 Switch
- DishPro Adapter for legacy receivers
LNBFs AND SWITCHES
• Cannot “mix and match” DishPro LNBFs and switches with “legacy” LNBFs and switches –
all components must be DishPro compatible. DishPro products (LNBFs, switches and receivers) have the DishPro logo.
• A maximum of three DP34 switches can be “trunked” together.
• The maximum recommended cable length is 200 feet from the LNBFs to the furthest receiver.
LEGACY INSTALLATIONS
• Must use the DishPro Adapter to connect any non-DishPro (“legacy”) satellite receivers.
- Legacy Receivers include:
- Models 1000, 2000, 2700, 2800, 3000, 3700, 3800, 3900, 4000, 4700, 4900, 5000, 6000
- DISHPlayer (Models 7100, 7200)
- All OEM-equivalent brands
- The DishPro Adapter “translates” the 13v/18v information the older “legacy” receiver understands to
“DiSEqC 1.0” to communicate with the other Dishpro equipment.
- Legacy receivers do not have the advantage of the enhanced DishPro diagnostics.
• DishPro receivers can be used in “legacy” installations. They are “backward compatible”.
DishPro receivers have the DishPro logo on the receiver.
Enjoy!
