VIP 722K Home Distribution Issue

[ssatellite]

TV1 and TV2 on Home Distribution coax output do not show any signal regardless of Air or Cable or channel settings, but the dedicated TV1 works on either Channel 3 or 4. Is this likely a failure of both TV/Cable modulators or? I am not seeing any loss of signal, and recording on both tuners works. My Home Distribution output is direct to a single TV, not through a splitter.

If TV 1 is set up with either an HDMI or RCA cables, the TV output in the modulator setup screen in the menu for TV 1 should be set to off and then TV 2 would be set to either generally 60 or 73.



Or are you saying that TV 1 is also hooked up using a coax?

In the Home Distribution you can have TV 1 multiplexed with TV 2, with UHF or cable channels chosen independently, and there is the option to turn TV 1 off. There is in addition a seperate VHF (channel 3 or 4) mirror of TV 1 also multiplexed without an option to turn it off. The usual arrangement is to use a splitter to feed seperate SD TV1 and TV2 via UHF , and possibly TV 1 via VHF. I am only using TV2 without a splitter. However, no combination of settings produces any TV1 or TV2 output on UHF or cable channels, but the TV1 mirror is present and good quality on channel 3 or 4 selectable. It seems odd that both TV1 and TV2 UHF modulators would fail but maybe so. Wonder if anyone else has seen this.
