OTA HD signals

[maxbyrd]

I have the Panasonic TH-37PX60U as a 2nd TV from the Dish 622. It only has one Ant-in. How can I get OTA HD signals and also TV2 output from the 622 into the same input?

Tune the agile modulator of the 622 so the TV1 and TV2 outputs are each in a range where there are 2-3 channels either side of it that are open. You can then combine the inputs with a splitter used backwards as a combiner. Your TV1 and TV2 channels will appear along with the OTA channels. This is exactly what the agile modulator was designed to do.

If that does not work, get a VCR hook it to the output on the 622, tune in ch from 622 then feed the TV from A/V out of VCR to A/v in on TV.
Hook ant. line to TV tuner for HD
Or use a A/B switch, 622 in A ant in B then a short cable to TV tuner

I have the same problem and a possible solution

I have been struggling with the same issues and almost have it resolved. Right now I am in the final stages of a solution, and I am just trying to get enough power into the system. If you are only going to be working with 2 TVs you will probably have a little easier task.

In the attachment is my current setup which distributes TV2 but does not efficiently distribute the OTA signal to TV2.

I am now working on amplifying and distributing both OTA and TV2 to the rest of my home. See this forum...

Hey, how many cables do you have going to TV1 - 1 or 2? If you have 2 it will simplify things a lot.

Because this is only half the equation. You would need at least 2 splitters even in the most simple configuration to accomplish this.

maxbyrd if you can tell us how the coax cable is strung into your rooms and how this is connected to your antenna we can help you more. Do you have cable runs going directly room to room or does the cable for each room run to an exterior cable box?
