INTRODUCTION
The MT2 Over-the-Air (OTA) Module allows you to add two digital
over-the-air tuners to your satellite receiver. This provides the ability to
integrate over-the-air channels into the on-screen Program Guide of
compatible receivers for seamless viewing by both the TV1 and TV2
viewers. If your satellite receiver is a DVR (digital video recorder),
using this module will also allow you to record digital over-the-air
broadcasts.
In addition, the MT2 OTA Module adds a Channel 3-4 coax output, for
connection to standard-definition TVs.
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Installation Considerations
• The OTA Module is compatible with only specific receiver
models. Refer to your receiver’s User Guide to determine if your
receiver model can use the module.
• The OT A Module is capable of r eceiving only digital over -the-air
broadcasts, not analog.
• These instructions assume that your satellite receiver is already
connected to a dish antenna, and has the most current software. If
not, you must connect the satellite receiver to your dish antenna
and download current software, using the instructions included
with those pieces of equipment.
• A DISH Network programming subscription is required to
receive over-the-air channels using the OTA Module.
• The OTA Module does not provide pass-through of analog OTA
signals.

• These instructions assume you have an over-the-air antenna
suitable for your area already installed in your system. Refer to

and peaking an over-the-air antenna.

Installing the MT2 Module
1. Unplug the receiver’s power cord from the electrical outlet. Unplug the receiver’s power cord from electricity anytime you
install or remove the OTA module. Doing so reduces the
danger of electrical shock, which could damage the module
and the receiver, and injure or kill you.
2. Look at the back panel of your satellite receiver, and locate the
cover on the left side of the back panel. Remove the two screws
attaching the cover to the receiver (see Figure 1). Keep the screws
for use in installing the module.
Figure 1. Removing the Cover

The module port on the back of the satellite receiver must be
covered if an OTA Module is not installed. Damage to an
uncovered module port is not covered by the receiver’s
Limited Warranty.
3. Install the module into the module port, making sure the labeling on
the module is right-side up. Attach the module using the two cover
screws (see Figure 2).
Note: Save the module port cover in case you need to remove the
module and cover the port in the future.

4. Connect the cable from your over-the-air antenna to the
IR ANTENNA IN port on the module (see Figure 3). Only one cable
