ViP222 How-to Mirror TV1 to TV3

[JRY]

So I've been reading through the threads and have not been able to find what I am looking for. If it has been asked and answered my apologies. I am a complete newbie here however pick things up pretty quickly so excuse any ignorant questions or statements

I have Dish Network a Dual-Tunner Receiver VIP222 and have 2 TV's connected. TV1 is near the receiver and is connected via HDMI. TV2 is in bedroom 1 and I believe is connected via the Home Distribution Coax output. My intention is to Mirror TV1 (not concerned about HD) into bedroom 2. I was hoping this would be a simple splitter but seeing as there is not Coax out for TV1 I'm left wondering how to do this.

Any and all assistance would be appreciated.

You can share the Home Distribution with more than one TV. Both tuner outputs are on the coax, different channels.

So all I need to do is split the Home Distribution Coax? How do I designate which tuner to mirror?

Hit Menu, then 6 for system setup, then 1 for installation, then 5 for modulator setup.

You can then select the channel used for TV1 out and TV2 out. You can select cable or Air.

Select a channel that is not being used.

On your home distribution you can tune to the listed channels to get either TV1 or TV2 output.

Split the line from the home distribution port, and run that cable to bedroom 2. Enable TV1's modulator in menu-6-1-5, and all should be well!

With the split home distribution coax going into both bedrooms, you would also benefit by having both TV1 and TV2 output channels selectable in both bedrooms.
