HOW DID HE RUN YOUR LINES?? <<YELLING>> If you have only one line coming down from the dish and fallow it when you find the diplexer ( Looks like splitter ) one side will have 2 connectors one is sat and other is for your tv 2 and on the other side just one connector that goes to your dvr you can swap the lines but dont touch the sat line. after you swap the lines plug the box into the old tv 2 SD location and then the cable that was on your dvr in the bedroom direct into your tv . If sticker is missing on remotes to tell you what ch tv 2 is on. after main box is running press menu 6-1-5 and that screen will show you what ch the tv in the bed room needs to stay on.

Hey Jimmy Snuka

Turn off the caps lock. Makes it look like you're yelling

 

[superfly2008]

OK. THers two cables one comine to the reciver and one stright to the tv.. i have no access to the roof thats where that diplexer is. is there any thing i can put on the tv2 cable too convert it too HD

 

[rocket69]

if the lines are next to each other you can just make a new diplexer location. its a pos fix but it will work and get your setup the way you want it .

I assume you have dual tuner vip 622.722. If you have a single (one) coax cable coming from the wall in bedroom
and the same in the living room then you have a setup like this

You will have to find the diplexer feeding TV2 and swap the input and output and move dvr and the its diplexer and seperator to living room

diplexer looks like this

jim pic one is good pic 2 is WRONG !

Since your tech did bolth lines on roof if they are next to each other you can use my crude draw to fix the issue

 

[superfly2008]

jimk2 your probably right but no way to get up there to check at all....

rocket69 dat sounds lik wat i was looking for. wish i could get up there to check it out

 

[rocket69]

it should be no other way to do it if he did put the 2 lines to the roof. if they are like my photo you will need another diplexer or you could just call dish or toss a $5 to the next guy up on your roof to swap the lines

 

[superfly2008]

ok soo here it is this is the way it is setup in my bedroom what you think?

 

[rocket69]

yep 2 lines to the roof . If the rooms are next to each other you can get a diplexer and run one line to the new location.

just hook up the line direct to the triplexer to sat in on diplexer and run the new line on the side with a single connector to your living room and put the box on the new line and tv 2 on the same side as sat on the diplexer

 

[rocket69]

can also be done with 2 cables one connected directly to the line the triplexer was on and extend it to new location then for tv2 hook up second cable from box where you see the yellow tag direct to the tv 2

Hey Superfly2008.
If you are looking to get "true" HD on the TV in the living room instead of the TV in the bedroom, you will have to swap the cables that go to the TV's The HDMI cable will display the picture in 720P or 1080P (depending on your TV). The Coaxial cable will only display HD content as standard definition.

If you're looking to display "true" HD format to both TV's, you can switch the DVR receiver mode to Single display, attach an HDMI splitter (you can get one from Amazon.com and probably Radio Shack). You will still need to run another HDMI cable from the splitter to the other TV.

I know DISH's new Hopper System is supposed to be able to send HDMI to multiple TV's, but I don't have it or know anyone that does to say how good it works.
Hope this helps.
