Vip222k Installation Question.

[thehuntsouth]

I have a single coax coming into the room.

Dish-In feeds into Utility room (where I have coax to the entire house), there it is patched direct to Bedroom1 where 222 is located. The switch is in Bed1 and splits Sat1 & Sat2 into the receiver. Tv1 is connected direct.

Question? Can I feed Tv2 back to to the Utility room and then to Bedroom2 over this single Coax?

What will i need in Utility room for the Dish-In/Bed1/Bed2 connection?

What is needed in Bed1 where Switch and Receiver are?

Any help is appreciated!

You need 2 diplexers. It looks like a 2-way splitter, but is labeled and functions differently. They are fairly cheap and easily available.

One in the utilty rm and one behind the rec with 2 short coax cables.

In the utilty rm, the line from the dish goes to SAT, bdrm 2 goes on UHF/ANT, and IN/OUT goes on thesingle line to bdrm 1

In bdrm 1, IN/OUT goes on the line from utilty closet, ANT/UHF goes on home distribution connection on rec (should be yellow in the center) and SAT goes to the separator (the switch on the rec where the main line is connected now.

The attached picture will help illustate exactly where to install the two diplexors as described by TimberWolf. (Ignor the fact that there are two Dishes in the picture.)

Hope this helps!
