With a 322 receiver is this possible?

With a 322 receiver is this possible? Or does this only work with the 722k? I couldn't get it to work on my 322 but am looking to upgrade to the 722k.

Home Distribution will output both TV1 and TV2 signals. If I use the home distribution coax to TVs 2, 3 and 4, I could watch either TV1 or TV2 programming on any of the TVs except the first.

Correct? Please let me know what receivers this is possible on.

Thanks!

Only works on VIP units. You can however use a 2 way splitter to combine the TV1 and TV2 outputs on the receiver in to one line and that will work.

when you say split the coax tv 1 and 2 connection, do you mean the home distribution for TV 2 and coax out TV 1 go into a splitter, then I run that into the already established cable system in the house? Then connect tv 1 through the red white and yellow connection for tv 1. TV 2 can then pick to watch TV 1 or TV2 ?

When you combine the two outputs using the splitter in reverse it will combine the two signals allowing both tv1 and tv2 on one coax line, you can then split that off and have tv1 and tv2 on all tv's including the original tv1 and thus you would not need to use composite connection for first set unless you prefer using that connection.

Ok, just so I understand.

Use the coax out from TV1 (CH 3-4 output) and use the coax out from TV2 (home distribution), put those into a splitter.

Run that splitter into the already reversed cable system through the house.

Plug any TV into the cable system and pick TV1 or TV2 signal.

Correct?

That would be correct. Make sure you do not have two receivers using the same channels that is using the coax home distribution. You may need to program one receiver on channels 3 and 60 which is default and the second one to 4 and 33 for example.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why would I have 2 receivers if I am using the home distribution?

You'll be fine as described. Your tv1 out is going to be on channel 3 or 4 and tv2 will be on a much higher channel and won't interfere.

Answer would depend on how many independent feeds you would need, 3 or more would require at least 2 receivers (of course this is before H/J). I have 5 tv's (sometimes 6) all connected to two receivers, and no I have not yet upgraded to H/J.

Thanks for the info.

Final question - Does it have to be a specific two-way splitter? Or can I use any type?

 

[garys]

Any basic splitter should work, just the more lines it splits into usually weakens the signal more.

If you see worse picture quality splitting the signal then I would purchase an amplifier.
