HOOK-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Monster Tip
For a comprehensive installation, use a high performance
Monster SIRIUS Home Antenna or Dish Mount Antenna
to reliably receive SIRIUS signals while minimizing
rooftop clutter.
Step 1
While the Monster SIRIUS & Satellite TV Signal Combiner
is compatible with most DISH
™
Network and DIRECTV
®
systems, there are several instances in which a particular
configuration may not be compatible.
DISH
™
NETWORK SYSTEMS
The incompatibilities for DISH Network systems fall
into several categories: configurations using a Legacy
model LNBF, configurations using Legacy model
receivers/tuners, and configurations receiving three
orbital locations. The following compatibility chart
shows compatible configurations, and the sections
following discuss in detail certain incompatibilities.

DISH Network Legacy Model LNBF
There exist three models of LNBFs which are found
in DISH Network systems:
• Dish Pro LNBF
• Dish Pro Plus LNBF
• Legacy LNBF
Of these three models, the Legacy LNBF is not
compatible with the SIRIUS Satellite Radio/TV Combiner
or Splitter. To determine which model of LNBF your DISH
Network system is using, examine the satellite dish
or the LNBF located on the satellite dish. If the
designation “Dish Pro” or “Dish Pro Plus”, or the logo,
are not found on the satellite dish or on the LNBF, then
your DISH Network system is using a Legacy LNBF
which will not work with the Monster SIRIUS & Satellite
TV Signal Combiner.
DISH Network Legacy Model Receivers/Tuners
The Monster SIRIUS & Satellite TV Signal Combiner
is compatible with the following DISH Network
receivers/tuners:
• Dish Pro Single Receiver/Tuner
• Dish Pro Plus Dual Receiver/Tuner
• Legacy Receiver/Tuner with a DishPro Adapter
If your configuration is using a Legacy receiver/tuner,
check to be sure it has a DishPro adapter connected
to it. If it does, then the Monster SIRIUS & Satellite TV
Signal Combiner will work with the Legacy receiver/
tuner, provided that the SIRIUS Satellite Radio/TV
Combiner and/or Splitter is not installed between the
Legacy receiver/tuner and the DishPro adapter.
A Legacy receiver/tuner that does not have a DishPro
adapter connected is not compatible with the Monster
SIRIUS & Satellite TV Signal Combiner. However, if
you have a configuration that uses multiple receivers/
tuners, remember that the ‘Dish Pro Single’ and ‘Dish
Pro Plus Dual’ receivers/tuners are compatible. Install
the Monster SIRIUS & Satellite TV Signal Combiner in
the leg of your configuration with a compatible receiver/
tuner, and not in the leg with the incompatible Legacy
receiver/tuner. DISH Network systems that receive three
orbital locations are not compatible with the SIRIUS
Satellite Radio/TV Combiner or Splitter. Systems that
receive one or two orbital locations are compatible,
as well as systems receiving four orbital locations that
use a “DP Plus 44” multiswitch.
DIRECTV
®
SYSTEMS
The incompatibilities for DIRECTV systems are limited
to two categories: configurations using three LNBFs
with a multiswitch that is not powered externally,
and configurations using three LNBFs with a multiswitch
co-located with the LNBFs at the satellite dish. The
following compatibility chart shows compatible
configurations, and the sections following discuss
in detail certain incompatibilities.

Step 2
Different configurations exist in satellite TV systems.
Refer to the illustrations to identify your particular
configuration before proceeding with the installation.
NOTE
Multiswitches, signal splitters, DishPro adapters (DISH
Network) or similar device prevent passage of the SIRIUS
signal, so both the SIRIUS signal and satellite TV signal
must be combined and split either before or after these
devices. Stated in the simplest terms, there can only
be an uninterrupted length of RG-6 cable between
the Combiner unit and the Splitter unit.
Step 3
Once you have determined how your SIRIUS Satellite
Radio/TV Combiner will integrate with your existing
satellite TV configuration, begin by removing the
connection that runs from your satellite TV dish to the
inside your home, located on the dish itself (usually on
the arm that extends from the dish to the sky). If your
satellite TV dish is not already installed, consult your
satellite TV owner’s manual and install as directed before
proceeding. Reconnect the cable to the “COMBINED OUT”
port on the Combiner.
Depending on where the SIRIUS Satellite Radio/TV
Combiner fits in your system, this cable may be connected
to the satellite dish, connected to a multiswitch, or
connected to a signal splitter, etc. When disconnecting
this cable, make a note of where it was connected for the
next installation step.
Step 4
Using the 3 ft. (0.91m) RG-6 cable included in your kit,
connect one end to the device from which the cable
in Step 3 was disconnected (i.e., the satellite dish,
the multiswitch, or the signal splitter, etc.) and the other
end to the “DBS IN” port on the Combiner. Then, using
the 30 ft. (9.14m) RG-58 cable included in your kit,
connect one end to your SIRIUS antenna and the other
end to the “SIRIUS IN” port on the Combiner. If your
SIRIUS antenna is not already installed, consult your
SIRIUS antenna owner’s manual and install as directed
before proceeding.
NOTE
When the SIRIUS and DBS signals are combined together
in one RG-6 cable, the maximum length of the cable
should not exceed 200 feet.
Step 5
Inside your home where your satellite TV connection
ends, disconnect the cable from your satellite receiver
or set-top box that provides the signal from the outside
and connect it to the “COMBINED IN” port on the Splitter.
Step 6
Using the 10 ft. (3.04m) RG-58 cable included in your
kit, connect one end to the “SIRIUS OUT” port on the
Splitter and the other to your SIRIUS receiver/tuner
port labeled “ANT IN” or “SAT IN”. Connect the cable
end with the push-on type connector to your SIRIUS
receiver/tuner and the cable end with the screw-on type
connector to the Splitter. Then, using the 10 ft. (3.04m)
RG-6 cable included in your kit, connect one end
to the “DBS OUT” port on the Splitter and the other
to your satellite receiver or set-top box.
Step 7
Installation complete! Now you can enjoy the 120+
channels of music, sports, news and entertainment your
new Monster SIRIUS & Satellite TV Signal Combiner helps
to provide without the headache of an additional cable run.
Troubleshooting
If the SIRIUS receiver displays the message “ANTENNA
NOT DETECTED”, the first thing to do is to verify that
you have installed the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner
and Splitter correctly.
1. Follow the step-by-step installation instructions again,
verifying each connection and cable type, and checking
that the cable connectors are screwed on tight.
2. Is there any device such as a Multiswitch, Splitter,
DishPro Adapter, etc., between the SIRIUS/DBS Signal
Combiner and Splitter? If so, you have installed the
SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner and Splitter incorrectly.
These devices prevent the SIRIUS signal from passing
through. Consult the illustrations on pages 7, 8 and 9
for proper installation, and reinstall the SIRIUS/DBS
Signal Combiner/Splitter.
3. Verify that the Power Supply for the SIRIUS Splitter
connected to the SIRIUS Splitter, and is plugged into
a working AC outlet.
