A Slingbox is able to take the video and audio output from a Dish Network satellite receiver and transmit it through the Internet for viewing by the receiver's owner. Hooking up a standard-definition video Slingbox to a DIsh Network 522 satellite receiver does not require any special tools, although a home network is needed in order to provide access to the Internet. The procedure is straightforward and does not affect the functions of the 522 satellite receiver until the Slingbox is activated.
Instructions
1. Place the Slingbox next to the 522 receiver. Plug one end of the yellow composite video cable into the yellow composite video output on the back of the 522 receiver. Plug the other end of the yellow composite video cable into the yellow composite video input on the Slingbox.
2. Plug the red and white RCA plugs at one end of the audio cable into the red and white RCA outputs on the back of the 522 receiver. Plug the red and white RCA plugs at the other end of the audio cable into the red and white RCA inputs on the Slingbox.
3. Insert the plug at the end of the IR emitter's cable into the "IR" input on the Slingbox. Place the IR emitter in front of the 522 receiver so that the IR transmitter in the IR emitter can access the IR receiver on the front panel.
4. Insert the AC cord of the power supply into a wall socket for power. Plug the power supply's power cord into the power input on the Slingbox.
5. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the Slingbox. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into an unused input port on the router of your home network.
6. Insert the Slingbox installation disk that comes with the Slingbox into the optical drive of the computer.
7. Double-click the icon of the disk when it appears on the desktop. Double-click the installation program inside of the window that appears. Follow the menu prompts to install the program on the computer's hard drive. Restart the computer once the installation is complete.
8. Click "Start." Select the Slingbox program from the "Applications" pop-up menu. Enter the information requested by the program in the appropriate screens that pop up; the screens will request information about yourself, the device or devices that the Slingbox will be used with as well as about the 522 receiver (details about the 522 receiver can be located on the box it came in, or by selecting the "System Information" menu within "ettings). Quit the program to save the information when all of the screens have been satisfied.
