Okay, I am sure this has been asked and I did do a search but still couldn't find my exact answer.

I have a 622 receiver connected to family room and master bd. My kids got tv for Christmas and want connection in their playroom. I called dishnetwork and was told my two options were to buy another receiver or sign a contract. I do not want to buy or sign a contract for another receiver since we will be moving in 6 months.

How do I get cable to my kids tv, also it doesn't matter if they can only watch the same channel as tv2 because we really only watch tv2 at night. Also if there is a way to do this, could you dumb down the instructions I am not that tech savvy and include where I can buy cables etc.


Any help is appreciated!



Thanks, a mom looking for a way to get control of the family room tv :D

yes i have coax cable on tv2..the third room has an outlet to put a coax cable

Basically you just need all the coax outlets connected together with splitters, fed from the one connection on the back of the receiver. Then every TV connected to the coax can see the same TV2 on the same channel.

You might already have this, especially if the house had cable before, there is probably a box outside with a splitter in it, and the cables go from there to the various rooms. In that case you can likely just plug the new TV into the outlet and it might "just work".

TV1 is also there on a different channel by the way.

My house is new and we have only had dishnetwork so not sure if the outlet in third bedroom is active..

If I did this with the splitter will i have wires running across the house? i am still a little confused

No, but you need to find out where the coax to the kids bedroom terminates. You basically need to split the signal from TV2 of the 622 to both your kid's bedroom and your master.

You also need to remember that any timers default to TV2, so those late night recordings on Cinemax will show up quite clear. (You might want to lock that and Fashion TV down.)

I have an OTA antenna running throughout the house. I take the two outputs from the DVR and modulate them onto two unused channels and send them out on the OTA cable. This allows all the TVs to get local stations in HD, as well as both Dish outputs in SD. I purchased an extra TV2 remote for those rooms. Very rarely will there be a time that three programs are being watched that one isn't local.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
