Receiver Connections

[apollobc]

Hello... New to DISH and expecting an install this week! I am uncertain as to how many dish connections are required to connect to the satellight. From what I can tell it takes 2-cables from the dish to the receiver? If I have 3-Receivers does that mean 6-cables are required from the dish? (1-duel and 2 single receivers). As a side note what is ment by "Agile Modulated Output"?

Thanks again for any enlightment on the subject!!

PS You guys must just hate these newbie questions...

Nope, Dish only needs one cable from the dish to the receiver, even for dual tuners. Three receivers three cables. I can't answer the AMO question.

"Agile Modulated Output"?

About Receiver Connections

Thanks for the information guys....

I was concerned because the picture of the receiver shows 2 satellite connections??

Don't worry. The two tuner inputs you pictured take a thing called a "separator", via two stubby coaxes, both supplied with the receiver. A single coax comes down from the dish, and connects to the separator.

But you can only use the separator with either a DPP Twin or DPP switch.

It's a new install. It will have DPP.

The agile modulator is a RF signal generator that provides both TV1 and TV2 in NTSC format via a single coaxial cable connection from the rear of the 622/722/722k.

You can choose the output channels for TV1 and TV2 to send to outlying TV sets so that they can be modulated into your OTA channels with minimal interference.
