How to setup your dish network box and record your shows



If you don't want to set up your Apple TV with your iPhone, choose Set Up Manually. Then follow the onscreen steps on your Apple TV to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and sign in with your Apple ID.


When setup is complete, you'll see the Home screen. From here, you can watch your favorite shows, movies, and discover more of what you love to watch in the Apple TV app. You can also subscribe to Apple TV+ to watch Apple Original TV shows and movies.




how to setup your dish network box



If you can't get past a screen during setup, try connecting your Apple TV to a different Wi-Fi network, like a personal hotspot from your phone. After setup is complete, go to Settings on your Apple TV and connect to your home Wi-Fi network.


If you're a DISH or DIRECTV customer, you're probably already getting your local network channels, hopefully in high def, on your existing receiver or DVR. These channels are delivered via satellite using something called "spot beaming." This technique assures that customers only receive local broadcasts for their specific geographic location. For the most part, this works fine, but there are some drawbacks. The quality of these re-broadcast local channels can suffer as they undergo compression to fit within the satellite signal's bandwidth. Also, when station owners renegotiate their terms with your satellite provider (as is currently happening with LIN Media and DISH), you may be subject to blackouts in your local service. What's a poor TV addict to do?


Also, I opted to run a direct line from the antenna to my ViP722k box. For me, this was the best solution as I didn't want the antenna near my existing satellite dishes, which are on the side of my house. My best OTA reception seemed to be coming from the roof, so I ran a line from there into the side of my house, near where my satellite cable enters. Of course, this requires a bit of cable splicing and termination, as well as drilling into the side of the house. There's nothing like the feeling of drilling a big hole in your house (my husband helped with that part and you should have seen the grin on his face). Of course, if you're renting, we'd recommend getting your landlord's permission first. Another option is to use a flat coax coupler. It's thin enough to squeeze over the top or bottom of a window while the window itself remains closed.


If you aren't comfortable with either of those things, you can opt for a diplexer or even a triplexer. These devices combine the signals from a satellite antenna and a cable or OTA antenna feed so you can piggyback the new signal over your existing wires. That way, you won't have to run lengthy parallel cable runs or drill into anything. You will need one of these at the outdoor satellite dish to combine the signals as well as another at the receiver end (inside the house) to split the signals back out.


To do this, no need to push any buttons or wait for flashing lights. Your Hopper or Joey should already be connected to the network, so you'll only have to enable the DISH Music Service option in the Settings. Just use your remote to go to the Menu, select Settings, and then DISH Music. You'll see the screen below:


1 The HughesNet service plans are designed to deliver download speeds of 25 Mbps and upload speeds of 3 Mbps, but individual customers may experience different speeds at different times of the day. Speeds and uninterrupted use are not guaranteed and may vary based on a variety of factors including: the configuration of your computer, the number of concurrent users, network or Internet congestion, the capabilities and content of the websites you are accessing, network management practices as deemed necessary, and other factors. When you connect to the HughesNet service using Wi-Fi, your experience will vary based on your proximity to the Wi-Fi source and the strength of the signal.


In some cases, particularly with larger terminals, the output of the terminal is wired to one or more jacks throughout the house. In this case, find an appropriate Ethernet jack (or in some cases, coax jack) inside the house and connect your network box to the jack.


Once your network box or gateway has been properly connected to your fiber terminal, connect the power cord to the network box and then plug it into a power outlet. As with a router, the lights should turn on and start blinking, eventually turning a solid color. This can take much longer for fiber service than other types of internet, sometimes up to 15 minutes.


If a fiber provider is already in your neighborhood, you might be in luck. Running a cable from your house to the curb is the smallest investment an ISP would have to make to connect you to its network and will usually be covered by the installation fee.


If the network is still a few blocks away, some ISPs might be willing to run a cable to your house for a much higher installation fee, but usually you have to wait until its network makes its way to your block.
