Adding 2nd tv to 622

[gadgtfreek]

Below is a pic of where my input comes in behind my living room window. My upstairs SD TV is right above my living room.

All I need to do to get it on the 622 is run a cable from the back of the 622 through the same spot this one comes in, up the outer wall and into the bedroom window straight into the back of the tv. Correct?

Then turn the 622 on dual mode. This will allow me to watch both live and recorded(in sd only) programming upstairs.

I would try diplexers and see if it works. That way you'll only have one cable going through that sliding door.

Here's a diagram, just ignore the second line going to the receiver from the dish:

How exactly would that work?

Ah. One on the inside with the flat in and two out(622 in and 622 out), then do the same on the outside?

Ok, from the dish you run one cable to the satellite port on the diplexer. Another cable goes upstairs to TV2. From the diplexer outside you run the same cable that you currently have. Inside you use another diplexer, one goes to the DP separator and the other one to TV2.

Wow thats crazy. Those things work pretty neat.


one side out to upstairs
Dish - outside diplexer
one side connects to cable I have going in now

one side to splitter on 622 for tuner 1 and 2
Existing inside cable - inside diplexer
one side goes to tv2 output


Look right?

Just found a diplexer on dishstore.net. I see where its marked In/Out on one side and TV and SAT on the other two. Damn neat contraption.
