    2 coax, 1 TV. How? Please help.

    Yes, TV2 is new and has a tuner in it. I used a splitter that had been on the cable when I had both internet and Dish sharing the coax. Now it is just Dish on the coax. I run that into the splitter and on the other terminal I have a line to an amplified antenna. Then a single line to the coax...

    2 coax, 1 TV. How? Please help.

    Well, after some time and deliberation I have finally resolved my issues, for the most part. I had a technician come in and put in a new dish and VIP222K receiver. The tech did not solve my issue, I did. He left me a couple splitters and duplexers and I tinkered by putting them on before the...

    2 coax, 1 TV. How? Please help.

    OK. well to complicate things a bit more and make things interesting I was told by a CSR a couple months ago that they would help me upgrade if I took the service plan. But, I would probably need a new dish oriented to the eastern arc. The small issue is that I am in a condo and my dish is on...

    2 coax, 1 TV. How? Please help.

    It looks to me that even with an updated receiver I will still have the same conundrum if I want to view HD OTA on TV2. (no way to input the antenna) Sent from my SM-G920V using the SatelliteGuys app!

    2 coax, 1 TV. How? Please help.

    I think this is on the right path. I have tried using the reverse splitter. I must scan for channels on the tuner and it does not find both the antenna and the cable. Not sure how to do this on the remote or TV. Perhaps it has to do with the settings or the frequency you refer to.

    2 coax, 1 TV. How? Please help.

    I had thought about this option. First, it would be a lot of work. But, second I would just be switching the problem. TV2 would become TV1 and TV1 would become TV2 and I would still be presented with the same conundrum on TV2 of two coax, but one input.

    2 coax, 1 TV. How? Please help.

    The new TV is in a room quite a distance from the receiver. So, not feasible to run RCA cables. Now I did just run the antenna coax into the receiver and can watch the OTA stations on TV1. Maybe the question is on how I can watch the OTA channels on TV2 that is getting the feed over the coax...

    2 coax, 1 TV. How? Please help.

    The receiver does have an antenna input. It is unused as I run the antenna right into the TV at that location.

    2 coax, 1 TV. How? Please help.

    I have an old receiver, a 322. I might change soon. Anyway, I am talking about the coax cable (output) for the second TV.

    2 coax, 1 TV. How? Please help.

    As so many I just bought a new TV. There is one small thing I can not think of a solution for. It is the second TV, so the input for Dish is the long coax snaked through the walls. I would also like to use an antenna. Both of them are obviously coax inputs and naturally the TV has only one coax...

    Address for Customer Service

    There is also the issue of when 3rd parties are involved as credit card companies (i.e.-disputes). Hard copies, paper trail, is always preferential.

    Address for Customer Service

    Does anyone have an actual corporate address for Customer Services? I have a small issue and want a written response from someone with some authority. I sent a letter a couple months ago to a Box # in Littleton, CO and some weeks later I had a message on my answering machine from Joe in the mail...

    322 Receiver only feeding one TV.

    The solution Yup, in the end it was a bad receiver. Got a new one and everything seems fine. Thanks for the tips.

    322 Receiver only feeding one TV.

    OK. I switched the leads. Restarted and neither TV worked. Put the leads back to the original and I was back to one TV working. I flipped on the TV a little while later and I got a message on both TVs "the smart card is not inserted correctly." I have not touched the smart card. I unplug and...

    322 Receiver only feeding one TV.

    I tried a different separator from a dealer today. Made no difference. Ran the menu 6-1-1 test. Under satellite input for both 1 & 2. I got OK under 110 and 119 in both. Then an X under Conn in both. I got a box that said the check switch test has found fewer satellites than previously...

    322 Receiver only feeding one TV.

    OK. I have to let up a bit on the phone reps. The first rep did very little in terms of diagnostics. Then, she did pitch the protection plan opposed to the $95 tech visit. This really got to me as it just seemed nothing more than a marketing pitch rather than tech support. The second person did...

    322 Receiver only feeding one TV.

    Thank you for quick help. I called Tech Support twice and in neither case did anyone tell me to do the menu-6-1-3. I did it twice and in each instance I got a red box with a white X under satellite 119 &110. It said "Error" and select "details." That was just a message about weather, rain...

    322 Receiver only feeding one TV.

    I have the old Dish SD box. It is a 322. Anyway. I have 2 TVs hooked up to it. For years it has worked fine. Now only one of the TVs get a signal at any one time. The other gets the message of the lost signal, check your connections, unplug the receiver, etc. I unplug the box and then restart...

    Getting a bump up. How to ask?

    Thanks for the info. To stir the pot up a bit. Aren't many of the channels in the Family Package (and any other cheap packages) pretty much free/unscrambled on FTA satellite. Also, I am not sure if a lot of those channels are HD. Thanks.

    Getting a bump up. How to ask?

    Perhaps you are forgetting one of my original points. I am happy with the Family Package and the price (though cheaper is OK). Just would like it in HD.

    Getting a bump up. How to ask?

    Thanks for the info Zach. I think that you confirmed what I expected from customer support. That is wanting me to move up to a different package (more expense or requiring a contract) when I am quite satisfied with the one I have. I guess I can not totally understand why that particular package...

    Getting a bump up. How to ask?

    I have been a good, loyal Dish customer for several years now. Never have to call tech support (almost never), pay my bills and just make them money. I have the very basic Family Package for the blinding sum of $19.99/mn. Believe it or not I am quite satisfied what the programming for that...

    VIP 722 2nd TV interferance

    Similiar problem I have a similar problem, but in my case I know what generated the problem. I just do not have any ideas on how to fix it. I also have a second TV off of a Dish 322 box. Now all that I am getting is a channel of snow. The problem started on Friday when I had Earthlink (done...
