Dual tuner for DirecTV?

[betsy c]

Hi,

A friend of mine has a dual tuner for his Dish system, one is HD and one is SD. The tuner is located near his HDVT, the 2nd tuner feeds a TV in a bedroom and is controled by a remote in the bedroom. It's neat - does D* offer such a tuner?

Thanks,
Bets

Welcome ot Satelliteguys!!

At this time the only dual tuner receiver that Directv offers is a dual SATELLITE INPUT tuner but no dual output like you're talking about.

E* has at least one entry level (rental only) model that the 2nd tuner is for RF output only and the picture quality is near junk, best suited for a kid or guest room. My neighbor has it, and its only purpose is to have one receiver charge, but 2 TVs attached.

Two tuners for independent viewing of satellite TV programming in two rooms with a single receiver.
“Agile modulated mono output” can send the second tuner’s signal to multiple televisions via home distributions

Yeah, I know. I have a 322. But he said this guy has a single dual tuner receiver that outputs HD in one room and SD in another room. This would be the 942...

i misread it. i thought he had an hd unit and another sd unit that drove 2 tvs. how does the 942 drive the 2nd tv? via RF?

you mean the 942, yes via RF just like the 322 and 522

DirecTV has one of these, it's not HD was and produced by Phillips, don't remember the model. I'm not certain it made it out of the test markets.

OH & UGH on the RF! I corrected my model number, sorry about the typo.
