We have two Rokus, could that be Roki? Anyway, we have one at our mountain home and one at out city apartment, we switch them out on our total of 3 TV's, so the answer is, convince! You can move them all over and they work where ever you use them. If you don't want to move them and possibly put in a new wifi code get as many as you can afford, if you don't mind moving them about you could have one or two and be happy. I think Roku is great and have had my first one for over 2 years.

You can also get an HDMI splitter. 1-in and 2 or 3-out. That's what I did with my cable box to split it to 2 TVs. They are available pretty cheap here on Amazon. Also would save you a good bundle of money.As other have said, the Roku is very easy to move also, as it is about the size of a hockey puck and weighs even less. If you're moving it from ont TV to the other, and are in the same WiFi network, its just a matter of unplugging it from one TV and plugging it into another. If not, it takes no more than 2 minutes to change your network VIA setup.Hope that helped.

We just move the Roku from TV to TV depending on which TV we want to use it on at the time. Just unplug from power and the TV and walk to the other TV and plug in the Roku.

This device is more for using ONE device IN with MULTIPLE OUTPUTS (TVs). For example: You have a Blu-Ray player that you would like to share the output to multiple tv's in your home or in a business. I hope this helps.

No you do not need two systems. This unit simply relays IR signal(s) sent from any remote to your devices hidden away. You stick one of the four IR blasters coming out of the unit on the IR eye of each of your devices and the IR receiver on the edge of your TV. Then you point any remote at TV and press button. The signal will leave your remote to the IR receiver and through the cord the unit. From there the unit will replay the signal to all 4 IR blasters that are placed on the IR eyes of your devices (STB, DVD, AV Receiver, etc...)

I don't recommend trying to mix Dish equipment with anything else. If it works, you got really lucky. They are even touchy about what splitters/combiners used with specific equipment. If you don't have solid advice from someone who understands satellite gear pretty well, don't bother. Equipment specific to Dish Network can be a mystery.

Just to be sure I am understanding your configuration, you have two devices together you want to control from two separate remote locations. The extender itself doesn't have channels, but you don't need that. You get two of these extenders, but you only use one receiver at the location where you have the boxes. You have one sender with each remote TV location. Whichever sender you are using relays the remote commands to the receiver, the receiver relays the command to the box. If you are trying to allow the two different TV users/locations to control different boxes at the same time, (like one person is watching off the dvr in one room, someone else is watching the blu-ray in the other room) then you need a different extender brand from each location to its own receiver co-located with the boxes. Hope that answers your question.

a 612 is designed for only one tv. You would need a 722 receiver for two tvs. If you have any technical questions about activation or installation dish network will be happy to help you. I would call 800.333.3474 for assistance. ps I recently purchased the 612 receiver and I love it

You can have up to four headsets linked to one transmitter. You can also have different transmitters at different televisions in the house, and have headsets linked to them (which will receive the show being watched on each tv).

I think it is just the channel that they run on. That way you can have 2 and they can be controlled separately.

I have 6 receivers and only one transmitter, I can get them all to sync up with the one transmitter with a little effort but it works. I often use 2 receivers with one transmitter for watching late night tv and it works pretty good, the only con is there sometimes is a half a second or so delay with the tv sound and it's a bit like watching a cheap Chinese movie. With audio devices no complaints works great.

i have 6 tv's, i will need a unit for each. "Question" do I have to pay extra for more than one unit?

That is a good question - But I don't know the answer either. When I want to change the TV input, that is what I change is the input and not the channel. Don't know that you can change the channel from the input mode. My understanding is that this remote is not designed to control multiple devices - it's not a universal remote.

No amplifier needed for just one TV. If you hook up more than one TV, then yes you would need an amplifier.

Keep in mind that this unit is a switch and not a signal divider. You can connect it to two TV's, but only one TV will be active at any given time. The unit allows you to connect a cable box to both TVs but only one of the TV's will have a signal, depending on the switch setting.

I have the same question:Can I watch a show from a different TV in my house other than this device is connected?I guess the answer is no. So if the device is connected to the TV in the living room I will not be able to continue to watch a movie in my bedroom unless I purchase another Roku and connect it to the TV in the bedroom. Correct?

Exactly! At first, I wanted to control the HDMI devices thru my TV but shortly realized I couldn't see the program options. You will switch between HDMI devices thru the receiver. Kinda simplifies things a bit.

Yes, I have two TV's hooked up to my antenna and they both work great. I am not a TV or antenna professional, but my understanding is that you could hook up as many TV's to the antenna as you want. The only down side is that you will lose some signal in the coaxial splitter needed to split the signal to go to multiple TV's, and the larger the splitter (more coaxial outlets), the more signal loss there will be. So, get a splitter with the same number of outlets as the number of TV's you have. Hope this helps.
