Dish Pro Plus Diagrams

Satellite TV systems require special wiring pre-wiring that is not the same as cable or antenna wiring. If you are building a new home your builder needs to run special wires so that you can install satellite TV later without the installer having to run new wires on the outside of your home. Properly installed wiring can be used for Satellite, Cable or Antennas. See our prewiring page.

Dish Pro Plus is a new upgrade for dual tuner systems and allows 1 wire to serve a dual tuner receiver.

Special DP Plus splitters and diplexers are required. As shown in this diagram 1 wire drop can serve a dual tuner receiver and still support a back feed into other rooms.

Be sure you ask your dealer for Dish Pro Plus equipment with diplexers so you can use this 1 wire option.

For planning prewiring go back to prewiring page and run wiring using the 1 wire to each receiver option.

HDTV if using a HDTV antenna seperate wires are now recomended DO NOT use diplexors. 1 HDTV wire needs to go to each tv and High Quality spliters need to be used along with a booster.
