Hi, Is there any one knows how to operate 2 TV sets with 2 receivers connected to the same satellite antenna with one single cable coming from the dish. In other words I have the cable coming from the dish to my home where I'm using a splitter diplexer...

DUAL LNB is the solution: Hi: If you are using any FTA system, you can not connect 2 tv directly to one satellite receiver unless you are using DUAL LNB able to give you 2 lines directly from the dish in to two different receivers and TVs where each will run different channels as you wish. However, if you have only single LNB with one output, you can not do any thing to send to 2 receivers or tvs from the DISH unless your installed DUAL LNB with 2 output, Remember, every time you change the channels from the main receiver, the other TV will bring the same channels. You will call the first main reveiver MASTER and your second TV SLAVE to the first one. If you like to have 2 tvs connected, simply go to the back of the receiver, connect cable from To TV (the one connected directly to your receiver) and connect the other end to the second TV. You will watch the same channels always. Direct TV or Dish Networks systems work different than the FTA, they could provide you with many recievers for each room tow atch many things. But remember, your Bill will be 3 digit, meanwhile FTA is A Free To Air Satellite, just buy the system and keep watching. Good luck

so make sure you have the settings correct on your FTA satellite box for this LNB type, check your receiver manual if necessary. if not set correctly you will not get a quality signal. Since you are only replacing the LNB, you should have no problem with acquiring a signal, but also make sure you set the LNB to the correct skew. Best to use the "quality" signal scale on the receiver as you are moving it (the signal level just provides power info to the LMB and back not satellite signal power, so use the quality scale, they both work hand and hand but when you have a good high quality signal you will have the best capability for the system not to rain fade on you and have picture break up). Also move the LMB towards and away from the dish on the bracket to see if you can also get a better quality signal. Remember the signal change will take a little time to move so don't rush the movement of the LMB, do it slowly. Show Less

Sort of...but you have to use the pair. Your Dish receiver will have a coaxial input (F-connector) for each input, SAT and VHF/Antenna. Simply connect the satellite coax to the SAT side and the antenna to the VHF side. At the other end, where your receiver is, connect a short cable from each to the appropriate F-connector in the back of the Dish box. Hopefully that is what you are wanting to do. Good luck!

On the transmitter side there is an 'In' from your source along with an 'Out' to a TV next to the transmitter. There is only one 'Out' on the receiver side for one TV. This eliminates the need for anything else to watch 2 TV's, one connected to the transmitter and one to the receiver.

I have one dish that feeds 02 satellite receivers desperately, simply by splitting the coaxial wire that comes from the dish into to wires, 1 goes to each receiver, you don't really need a dual LNB, but you will have a problem, when you go to sertain channels one of the receivers stops responding. you need a 1/2 (1in 2 out) splitter

you will need to buy a RF Link for each additional TV and connect the receiver to it. So you will only need one of the transmitters, which you will attach to the TV that's on your cable or satellite box.In my setup, I have 2 satellite boxes, so I have a transmitter on each of them. My third TV has 1 receiver and I use the switches on the back of the receiver to choose which transmitter to "listen" to. When I add another TV, I will put my unused receiver on it and set it up the same way.

I could not get the anser dish 5000 to work at all with dish network. I upgraded to the 1518 carry out and it works well with one reciever. If you want to use 2 reciever you will need to call winegard, call right when they open or you will never get to speak with anyone. Thay

We have one VIP612 receiver and use the signal separator to separate the two satellite signals traveling over the single coax cable coming into the house. If you are attempting to feed two receivers from one cable, I'm thinking a signal splitter would do the job instead of a signal separator.

I just recently bought one of these to use with my H24 receiver. The dish comes with a single cable to connect to the receiver, meaning it will operate a single tuner.

There is only one wire coming out of the dish. I have only used one receiver with this dish.

i have this tv too. i just tried your method to get the tv to turn on and off and it worked. but now it's not working with dish. I can't control anything about the satelite. I'm trying to get tv2 to work so there is no box in this room. im stumped!

You can add a splitter but, remember that the splitter will induce a loss in both receivers. If your location from the transmitter is in the fringe area, my suggestion would be to install a second antenna. There is no splitter built that will not insert signal loss.

In theory, yes, as that is what powered HDMI splitters are supposed to do...take the original signal and amplify it so a clean signal gets to multiple devices. In practice there are sometimes problems when connecting to equipment that is several years old as they may not have implemented the later HDMI standards. For instance, I wanted to send HDMI to a new tv at the end of a 50 ft hdmi cable as well as a four year old 'smart tv' adjacent to the dish receiver. Both tvs would get the same channel although only one would be turned on. The splitter worked fine for the newer tv, but the older one would never have audio UNTIL power was cycled on the splitter. I tried several splitters .... all exhibited the same symptom. Apparently the older tv didn't have the same interface standards as the newer so I do not think ANY splitter would have worked as I intended. Bottom line is you just have to try it. Chances are it will work.

Once you have a dish setup for all your homes, then all you need to do is take your receiver from any location (ANY STATE)to any of your homes regardless the state and it will work, KEEP IN MIND if you don't call Direct-TV and have it updated to that local area you won't get local channels, it will be trying to pull in the other locations local channels in which you won't get either....... Really simple and we do this twice yearly ourself; we go between Arizona & Oregon in an RV that also have a Satellite Dish(tailgater type dome model) on top and it automatically locks onto the satellite needed, so we use same Receiver between AZ and OREGON and every where we go in between...... :) Once you have a dish setup for all your homes, then all you need to do is take your receiver from any location (ANY STATE)to any of your homes regardless the state and it will work, KEEP IN MIND if you don't call Direct-TV and have it updated to that local area you won't get local channels, it will be trying to pull in the other locations local channels in which you won't get either.......

You need a dish to receive satellite tv. Also, note that Linear needs a larger dish than Circular .. at least 90cm. DirectTV and Dish use circular polarization hence they can use smaller dishes (multi-pathing). You will need a dedicated dish and rotator unless you just want to receive just one satellite, such as PBS. With a 6' dish you can get some C-band with a mini-BUD. Sounds like you have some homework to do but in any event this receiver purchased a year ago now has been very unreliable, even without driving the dish rotator motor. Suggest you google Sadoun Satellite and read .. and watch their videos. Good Luck .. enjoy your challenges and rewards. You need a dish to receive satellite tv.

Assuming your receiver has hdmi output and your using that, you will need another hdmi cable along with this one (so you have a total of three hdmi cables) and a hdmi splitter (one input and two outputs)Connect the current hdmi cable that is attached to TV1 from the receiver to the input of the splitter then connect the two new hdmi cables to the output of the splitter and into the inputs of TV1 and TV2

Call dish network and they will walk you throught the initial set up. Also if you don't use the receiver at least once a month you will have to go through set up each time you use it. So be sure to turn it on and let it aquire satalite signal at least one time every month
