How to Combine tv 2 from two receivers
ADVERTS 1
Hi -
I have two dish network DVR receivers in my house. Both are set in dual tuner mode. My wife and I spend significant time in one room of the house that is connected via coax to the tv 2 out from one of the receivers. Since we split our recorded shows between both DVRs, I was wondering if there is a way to combine the tv2 outs from both receivers into a single input for my tv. So far, I have set each tv 2 out to a different channel, and i split the tv out on one of the sat/vhf splitters into two lines. Now im stuck..is there a certain adapter that I can use to join this second output to the output form the other receiver? Hope this makes sense...

yes, it's commonly called a splitter.

The combiner may work but you'll also need to put the TV's on different channels, PLUS you'll need to have two UHF remotes for each Dish receiver and have them on different channels.
If the combiner gives you trouble, you can buy an RF switch. Radio shack sells them to switch between game and antenna. They cost about the same as a combiner.Join SatelliteGuys on the Home Theater Cruise, November 25-Dec 2. Cabin reservations fill up fast so don't delay!
