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 OTA Module is capable of receiving 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 OVER-THE-  
AIR ANTENNA IN port on the module (see Figure 3). Only one cable  
is needed because the module has an internal splitter to provide the  
dual-OTA tuner capability.

ABOUT OVER-THE-AIR TV BROADCASTS  
Over-the-air TV signals are broadcast by local TV stations from a  
transmitter tower, and are received using an indoor or outdoor antenna.  
Digital over-the-air TV broadcasting uses advanced technology to  
deliver superb picture quality and CD-quality sound. However, digital  
over-the-air reception depends on several factors:  
• The distance between the broadcast station and your home—the  
farther away the station, the weaker the signal.  
• The broadcast station’s power—the lower the power, the weaker  
the signal.  
• Obstacles between the station and your home, such as mountains,  
buildings, trees, or other objects—these may block or reflect the  
signal before it reaches you.  
• Multiple broadcast stations—to receive good signals from several  
stations, you may need to compromise how the antenna is  
pointed, or you may need more than one antenna.  
There is no guarantee of reception of digital over-the-air channels by  
using the OTA Module; however, using the best over-the-air antenna for  
your area will improve your chances of reception:  
You can typically receive a limited number of channels using a  
rabbit ears-type antenna, or a much larger number using a UHF/  
VHF outdoor antenna.  
• The higher the quality of antenna you use, the greater its range  
and the better its reception will be.  
Electronics Association, for recommendations for antenna types  
and pointing directions.

Installation Considerations  
• Follow local, state, and National Electric Code requirements for  
grounding the over-the-air antenna.  
• RG-6 coaxial cable is preferred for the OVER THE AIR ANTENNA  
IN connection. If you are diplexing the OVER THE AIR ANTENNA  
IN and SATELLITE IN cables, RG-6 cable must be used.  
You cannot use a diplexer to combine the OVER THE AIR  
ANTENNA IN and SATELLITE IN cables if using an amplified  
antenna.  
• Reception of digital over-the-air broadcasts is outside of the  
control of DISH Network. If you have questions about over-the-  
air broadcasts, contact the broadcaster, not DISH Network.  
Digital Transition Consideration  
Although all full-power over-the-air stations are transitioning to digital-  
only broadcasts beginning February 17, 2009, there will be some  
broadcasters who will continue using analog signals after this date.  
Because the OTA Module includes digital-only tuners, stations that are  
still broadcasting analog signals cannot be received using this module.

DISH Network’s Exchange Programs  
DISH Network offers two options if you need to replace your accessories; the Advance  
Exchange Program and the Post Receipt Exchange Program  
Advance Exchange Program  
The Advance Exchange Program allows you to have replacement equipment shipped  
immediately to you (depending upon where you live, it could take three to five business  
days). Along with replacement equipment, you will receive a prepaid shipping label and  
instructions on how to return the defective equipment.The shipping charge, for receiving  
replacement equipment and returning the defective equipment, is a one time fee based on  
EchoStar's competitive bulk shipping rates (additional charges may apply outside of the  
continental US). This fee will be charged to your billing account or your valid credit card.  
If you do not ship the defective equipment to EchoStar within ten days after receiving the  
replacement, your billing account or credit card will be charged the market price of the  
replacement. If you return the defective equipment after ten days, you will receive a full  
refund less an administrative fee.  
If your equipment is out of warranty and can be repaired your billing account or credit  
card will be charged the standard repair fee for the replacement. If damage to the defective  
equipment is found, which EchoStar in its sole discretion determines has voided the  
warranty, or makes the equipment unrepairable, your billing account or credit card will be  
charged the market price of the replacement.  
Post Receipt Exchange Program  
You may choose to ship the equipment to us at your cost. To provide faster service, upon  
receipt of your equipment you will be shipped a replacement. Your original equipment  
will not be available for return. The equipment you return will be checked to verify  
whether it is covered under this warranty. If the defective equipment is covered under this  
warranty, it will be replaced and shipped back to you at no additional cost (additional  
charges may apply outside of the continental US). If your equipment is out of warranty  
and can be repaired your billing account or credit card will be charged the standard repair  
fee for the replacement. If damage to the defective equipment is found, which EchoStar in

its sole discretion determines has voided the warranty, or makes the equipment  
unrepairable, your billing account or credit card will be charged the market price of the  
replacement.  
Accessory Warranty  
An accessory is any DISH Network branded equipment, displaying the DISH Network  
logo, excluding the receiver, Smart Card, cables and hookups, and non-mechanical  
components. A one-year warranty becomes effective upon the activation of the DISH  
system or date of purchase, if bought separately. A proof of purchase is required to verify  
the purchase date. If an accessory has an expired warranty, no exchange will be issued.  
You may purchase replacement accessories from DISH Network or your local retailer.
