Hello group, I am glad to say you helped me tackle this problem and as far as I know I am up and running now. I "Couldn't" have done it without you. Thanks you all a bunch!!! I bought the splitter today and installed it this evening and I still had 1 black and white tv. Now on to the...

That sounds great, so I plug in as you indicated and then turn my tv to 3 or 4 like the modulator box is searching for, or would I tune to 60 or what ever I have it set on to match the inside of the dish box? Thanks again for your help.

I guess buying the modulator is my next move, I saw a bunch on ebay for 12.00 or so shipped. Hopefully they work well.

I had to leave town today and I picked up a splitter 1 in 2 out. 5-2050 MHz. Got home and tried it out. One tv looks great, one tv is still black and white. I will try changing cables and try again, other than that I guess I will move on to the RF modulator. Thanks for your help. I sure...

The modulator box I saw had a switch for channel 3-4. When I go into the setup menu on the dish box, channels 3-4 are greyed out. I am only able to select cable or air and neither go to 3-4 manually? Am I looking at the wrong modulator box do you think or are they all like that? Thanks

I just tried this procedure using channels 60 and 62. I had to use a splitter I had lying around, I have a feeling this is the problem. The splitter I have hooked up now is labeled in/out -- vhs--sat ---My other choice is one labeled in/out -- sat in 1 and sat in 2. They are the only...

Sorry for the misinformation guys. I am not familiar with this stuff at all and really appreciate your help. For Christmas I bought both of my daughters little 7" tv's for there rooms. They work pretty well for them. The installer installed a new vip 722k and hooked up tv 1 using rca...

After looking at some the converter boxes, it seems like they all want you to go to channel 3 or 4. My dish is not letting me do that? Hope someon knows, my daughter is excited about getting a new tv even though it is used. Thanks for any help..

Hello, I just bought my daughter a different tv for her room. It only has the coax input. The only output I have from the dish box is red white yellow rca cables. I need to convert. Would an old vcr work somehow. If not is there a cheap option. I saw a box called a RF MODULATOR RCA TO COAX...
