    2nd TV used to work, now it doesn't

    I replaced my diplexers with the Holland's with DC on them, and everything works again! Woohoo! Thanks everyone for all your help!

    2nd TV used to work, now it doesn't

    I took off the wall plate, and voila! Looked like a crappy connector! It was the screw on type, and there was lots of wires sticking out from under the connector. It was easily pulled off the end, and it looked like crap. I put a new connector on there, hooked everything back up, and...

    2nd TV used to work, now it doesn't

    OK, using a little TV, I've been able to confirm that everything looks OK coming out of the "home distribution" connector for TV2 on the back of the receiver. Even disconnecting the cable that runs from the "home distribution" connector to the diplexer & hooking that up to the TV, everything...

    2nd TV used to work, now it doesn't

    So here's the whole setup... :) The line from the dish runs into my utility room. It's hooked up to a grounding block, then from the grounding block it goes to a diplexer. The satellite side of the diplexer hooks up to the cable running to the outlet in the family room with the satellite...

    2nd TV used to work, now it doesn't

    I replaced the diplexers, checked all the connections, still not getting a good signal to TV2. Actually just unhooked TV2 for a stretch, and now it doesn't work since I hooked it back up. And it's hooked up directly to the TV... This is getting a little frustrating. :mad:

    There's nothing fancy about those diplexers, is there? I know I've seen them at the local Home Depot. I'll pick up a couple, swap those out and see if that takes care of it. :)

    2nd TV used to work, now it doesn't

    I did re-run the autoprogramming, and it's picking up the signal, but it just looks like it's a weak signal. And I verified the TV and modulator are both set to cable mode, channel 94. Very strange. And I wasn't aware of the OTA module, but I'm not sure I really need it. I'm now running a...

    2nd TV used to work, now it doesn't

    I've got a VIP 222k back in February 2009, and when it was installed it was hooked up in two TV mode. Everything worked fine, but I basically only used the 2nd TV to watch baseball games. Well, the season ended, I unhooked the TV down in my utility room to hook up an antenna to get OTA HD for...
