I, like many of you...

[Chinatown]

will be downgrading to the HD Turbo packages, come February.

I have no commitment left to Dish, and don't want to buy another HD receiver, and will gladly box up the 625 and send it back to them.

So, I would like to utilize my 1 VIP 622 to as many sets as I can.

Yes, I know that 2 is the maximum for individual programming....but I am willing to split the signal to 2 other sets..& yes, I don't mind if they are mirrored.

How do I do this?

Thanking you in advance.

On the back of the receiver is the output to the 2nd TV, it is labled something like home distribution TV2 output(or something like that it's been awhile since I really read it). This output actually has the ability to send both TV1 signals and TV2 signals out at the same time. They will only be in SD, but since you were using a 625 I don't see this as a problem. All you have to do is goto MENU 6-1-5 and select the modulated channels that you want to the receiver to put out.

The 2nd TV output from the receiver can be split to as many TV's as you like, 3 tv's should not be any problem with low signal. If you were to hook up alot of tv's you might need to amplify the signal.

If you get the UHF remote for TV1, you will be able to control the receiver from any tv location as long as you have the tv on the right channel for TV1 output. The TV2 remote is already UHF so again you can control the receiver from any location as long as it's on the right tv channel for TV2 output. You can also buy mutiple remotes and set them on the same frequency to control from mutiple locations.

Now you may have only one cable that is used to feed the receiver signal, and to send your TV2 signal back out to the 2nd TV. This is done with the use of something called a diplexor, it looks like a splitter but is totally different in function. If you look behind the receiver, and you see what looks like 2 splitters behind it, you have a diplexor in use. If you see a seperate wire for the TV2 output then it is simpler. Either way you are going to have to trace where that TV2 output goes to be able to split it off to all the other tv's.
