    Need help switching TV1 and TV2 on 625 DVR

    Thanks, I will try tuning the tv and checking other channels. Do you think I can remove the diplexer and channel 3 combiner in the attic and replace them with a simple splitter? Run in reverse I guess? I read somewhere "where there's one diplexer, there will be another." I assumed this...

    Need help switching TV1 and TV2 on 625 DVR

    OK - I have learned that I have a diplexer and a Channel 3 signal combiner in the attic feeding the tv that I want to put on tv2. I understand that tv2 does not play on channel 3. The signal combiner does combine the OTA and Dish image. Does this help in figuring out how I can send the tv2...

    Need help switching TV1 and TV2 on 625 DVR

    Air channel 60 is what it was set for. That's where I got the snowy picture that looked like it was on the wrong channel. I will try cable 73. I do think that there is a box in my attic that is sending signal down channel 3. This is obviously an issue given that tv2 will not play on...

    Need help switching TV1 and TV2 on 625 DVR

    My only problem is that my remote for tv1 is IR, and my tv1 signal is going to the tv that is not in the same room with the receiver. I am trying to switch tv1 and tv2 so both remotes will work as intended. I feel pretty comfortable following directions. I do now understand why it isn't a...

    Remote comparison

    Thanks. I think I understand. I am using a 625. If I have both the TV1 and TV2 signals going to the same tv, either the 6.2 or 6.3 will operate both? One in regular and one in aux mode? It seems that I read somewhere (can't find it now) that the 6.2 will not operate the DVR in aux mode...

    Remote comparison

    Can someone tell me pros and cons of 6.0, 6.2, 6.3. Is the 6.3 the only one that will allow me to use TV1 and TV2? I generally record on TV1 and my kids on TV2, but sometimes it would be convenient to switch from 1 to 2 without changing rooms. On my TV1, I think I can feed TV2 in through...

    Need help switching TV1 and TV2 on 625 DVR

    Scott, That is what isw strange to me. TV1 is feeding straight into the tv, and TV2 goes into the diplexer. I tried switching the cables at the tv1 and tv2 ouputs, but then the neither tv worked. There is a chance that I didn't switch to the correct channels though. Do I also have to...

    Need help switching TV1 and TV2 on 625 DVR

    Thanks for the reply. Now that I have found what to look for on the forum, I think I have found a few solutions. 1. Buy another UHF remote to use in the living room and set TV1 to use a UHF remote. 2. put it in single mode, press swap on remote, put it back in dual mode. This sounds like...
