running both TV1 and TV2 to one tv

Can you run both tv1 and tv2 to a seperate tv so that you can choose between either tv1 or tv2 by changing the television's channel between 3 and 60?

I just read in the 6.2 owner's manual and it states that you cannot operate UHF PRO signals in the AUX mode. It will only do IR and UHF Legacy (non UHF PRO) commands. I wonder if you could program TV2 into the SAT mode and TV1 into the AUX mode. Doing this you could operate TV1 in the room that the receiver is at and TV2 in any other room of the house. If you want to do TV1 and TV2 functions in all rooms and what I just mentioned is possible then maybe a UHF Legacy upgrade kit will work to allow you to operate TV 1 in other rooms as well with the same remote in AUX mode.

I have read that in the book for the 6.2 as well. I was wondering the same thing as you. I tried it and it will not work. Others on the forum have confirmed that this does not work. Oh well, was worth a try.

If you have a DishPro Plus receiver (dual tuner), in dual mode, then....

(1) You can use 6.3 IR/UHF PRO Remote 2 (blue chip with the 2 on it) to control TV2 from anywhere in the house, while in SAT Mode; and
(2) You can use 6.3 IR/UHF PRO Remote 2 (blue chip with the 2 on it) to control TV1 while in the same room, while in AUX Mode, and provided you program the AUX Mode button as a Dish Receiver Remote.

NOTES:
(1) The 6.2 is suppose to be the same as the 6.3.
(2) Programming AUX Mode: Press 0 for a 2nd TV; Press 1 for a second VCR, tuner, or amplifier; and Press 3 for a 2nd Dish Satellite Receiver. See 622 manual, bottom of Page 81 and top of Page 82, for the rest of the steps.
(3) When in AUX Mode, the remote will send out IR and UHF signals, but since the 622 TV1 does not use UHF signals, you will have to be in the same room for the IR signals.

Too bad you can not Press 4 for IR and UHF PRO signals.:D

So it seems that having to be in the same room to use TV1 in AUX mode is where the Legacy UHF upgrade kit would in handy and that you could not get the UHF PRO upgrade kit as it is not supported in AUX mode.

easiest thing to do is get a uhf/vhf combiner connect channel 3 to the uhf and tv2 output to the vhf and take the output and watch tv on channel 3 and 21 .
if you have a 622 you can get tv1 on channel 21 tv2 on channel 22and put like a vcr on channel 3 throughout the house by just using uhf/vhf spliiter

How things have changed

I was reading this article

thehill.com

Cable TV ‘cord-cutters’ became the majority in 2022

The steady decline of cable and broadcast television, and the rise of streaming services, reached a sort of inflection point over the past year. Last summer, for the first time, streaming ser…
thehill.com thehill.com

That said this-
Last summer, for the first time, streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime claimed the largest share of the television viewing audience, surpassing both cable and broadcast TV. Streaming captured 34.8 percent of July viewers, according to Nielsen data, compared to 34.4 percent for cable and 21.6 percent for broadcast.

And then, sometime in the second half of 2022, cord-cutters became the majority. The share of cable and satellite television subscribers dipped to 48 percent, according to a report from Samba TV, a television technology company.

Now I do not consider those with YTTV and the likes, Cord Cutters, but they still do not have Traditional Cable/Satellite delivered Live TV, so I decided to do the math.

There are, now, 129 Million Households in the United States.

In 2015, there were 100 Million Cable/Sat Subscribers , no streaming Live TV Service.

Today, there are 66 Million Live TV subscribers, including Cable, Satellite and Streaming.

Roughly, Streaming Live TV has 14 Million subs including all of them.

So that means, Cable/Satellite now has, roughly, 51 Million Households

So in just 8 years, lost 49% of their subscribers and by the end of this year, expected sub count to be, roughly, 45 million households.

That means a total loss of 55% since 2015 at the end of 2023.

But out of 129 Million households, 45 million will mean only 35% will get Cable/Satellite Delivered Live TV by the end of 2023.

Imagine what 2024 will be like.

Throughout the playoffs most games were not over the air. They were on FS1 or TrueTV, HBO, TBS....So without a sports package you need FS1, and the others you need a old school TV package. If I had to guess, close to 75% of playoff games were not on free local TV.

But I never posted about the playoffs, only the World Series.

And a 4 million drop in households is a big deal, specially what Fox pays for it, they are already losing money on the MLB contract, now even more, since they might have to give some of the money back to advertisers, since it might of not made certain ratings goals.

Last year it was the Dodgers and Bluejays. This year is was the Brewers and the Rays, two teams that never won a World Series. Last year the Dodgers were the former year champion, can they do a repeat against a Toronto team that looked unbeatable. That World Series was a classic between two teams that really wanted it. The highlight of this year was can Milwaukee go 4-0 like they did to the Dodgers, and they just about did.

Yep ratings have lots to do with what teams are playing. Large market over smaller. Underdog teams people want to root for. But If you make it hard to watch all the playoffs, you will get less interest for the World Series.

I guess they should figure that out ... maybe not offer as much if they can't afford it next time.

Today is the anniversary of Dan Wheldon's passing at Las Vegas in a dreadful crash that luckily didn't take more drivers' lives. I vaguely remember the crash, but I more strongly remember Paul Tracy trying to keep it together as he left the Medical Center knowing that Dan most likely wasn't going to.

The safety in these vehicles is beyond incomprehensible, especially relative to what it was 60 years ago, when dying wasn't unexpected. But it is still very dangerous. I always scoff at the prayer invocations, but never scoff at the risks these drivers take and the emergency workers out there who might need to pull short of a miracle to save a driver's life.

HBO Max has the live in car streaming without commercials, which provides an interesting take, but you are driving blind, knowing only what the team is telling the driver about what is happening on the track. The stages definitely ruin the NASCAR set up.

NASCAR is an abject mess, but at least it has Kyle Larson. Guy had the lead on the green/white checker, fell back to 12th or the like, kept his cool, and charged back to win with room to spare at the line. And win very cleanly!

NASCAR needs to stop racing at Talladega. Especially if they are going for elderly Sunday drives at the track! Stage racing is real stupid, but NASCAR should consider one half point a second per group gap as a bonus.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....
