There was a power box that supplies 12v control power to the Dish network satellite antenna. It was left in the section where all of the slide switches are. You plug it in to supply power to the antenna so that it can raise and move to find the satellites. Then unplug until time to lower. Plug it back in, turn it on and wait until it says "searching for satellite". Then push the power button again and it will say "stowing dish and powering off". Wait until dish is down and unplug until needed again.
But, FIRST< you need to obtain a dish receiver. It goes in the entertainment cabinet and connects to the tv and to the satellite cables there. The power control box and this receiver are 2 completely separate items with no actual interconnection, but the power box relies on the dish box to tell it when the antenna signal is obtained.
In the entertainment cabinet you will find 4 satellite cables. 2 of them go to the water bay outside, and 2 of them go to the roof. At this point use the 2 going to the roof. You can connect to the tv with your choice of apparatus. HDMI, composite, component or coax. HDMI will give the best picture and sound followed in dsecending order by the others with coax being the least favorable.
You will then have to go into the tv menu and go to "input" and set it to whatever type of cable and port you chose to use, again with HDMI being the best.
At that point you can turn the dish receiver on and push "menu, then 6, then 1 and then 1 again. You will see a screen that says something like "finding satellites". Just wait until it stops looking around and you are good to go. Go to live tv and enjoy.
If you are a new dish customer there may be other procedures required that may very some from the above so as to allow subscription and such
Let me know if you need further assistance.
