Hello,
Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find anything that is specific to my issue.
I currently have a HWS/Joey setup, but decided I didn't need the extra channels or the DVR, so I have downgraded to the Welcome Pack. This package doesn't include the DVR fees that the other package I had did.
I have purchased a ViP 222k receiver in order to still have 2 TV's, but without the DVR (I don't use it anyway), but I don't know what equipment as far as cabling, splitters, diplexers that I need to purchase.
My scenario:
I know I have a WA dish with two lines ran to the closet.
Since this is a Dual Tuner receiver I was going to place the receiver in the living room, and then have my bedroom be TV2. For maximum picture quality, I was going to run RCA cable (yellow, white, red) from the TV2 outputs on the receiver to my TV in the bedroom. I don't believe for this portion, I will need any additional cable (except for the RCA cable itself).
My issue is I am not sure how to hook up the receiver to the dish. I know that I will most likely need a splitter or diplexer to combine the two inputs from the dish to combine into the one cable that runs to the wall outlet in the living room. Then I believe that I will need another one of those to plug into the back of the receiver in the "Satellite 1 & Satellite 2" inputs, and run back to the wall outlet.
Sorry if this seems kind of confusing. I appreciate any help you can give me.
