508 and 722

[paisley_tele]

is there anyway t ties a 508 into the home cable. like the 7ss uses 77 and 79 channels how do i get the 508 to do that

[garys]

The 508 will only output as channels 3 or 4. Use a splitter in reverse to add to the output from the 722.

so if i take the 508 cable output to tv and put a splitter on it , then run it in to the tv wall cable i will get the 508 on either 3 or 4 and the 722 on either 77 for tv1 and 79 for tv 2 from any where in the house. is that correct?

[garys]

Use the splitter in reverse (works as a combiner that way) joining it with the 722 output. Run that to your distribution hub.

Yep. I have a 508 and two ViP722 DVRs. Not sure it's worth it, though, I suspect in the coming year (whoops, it's here already) the 508 will be phased out. They're trying to move to a smaller (ViP-only?) code base with 8PSK only receivers. And eventually, only receivers capable of MPEG-4.

i treid that but the basic cable over powers the 508 any way to stop that. i get free basic cable with my cable internet and i sue some of the locals that dish dont get. how do i override channel 3 to get the dish on it

You need to modulate on a higher channel and then use a filter to clear out the un-used channels on your cable system.

[paisley_tele]

how do you get the 508 to output on a higher channel. and what filter is good to use.
