How To Hook Up Dish Network To TV 2?

It is very convenient to have Dish Network installed on several TVs in your house. It enables you to view your preferred programs, news, movies, or sports on different TVs without having to switch from one room to the other. The Dish receiver box can only directly connect to one TV but you can use the following ways to connect another TV. In this article, the author will give detailed procedures on how to easily hook up Dish Network to a second television set.

What You Need

Before you get started, you will need to gather the proper equipment:

• Dish receiver box
• The coaxial cable is normally supplied by the Dish installer
• Second TV you want to connect Dish to
• Additional coaxial cable
• A dual tuner receiver if you wish to have two different stations to view (optional)
• HDMI splitter if you are splitting the signal or HDMI cable if you are directly connecting the system.

Using Existing Coax Outlets

If you have coaxial wall outlets in the rooms you wish to add Dish too, it can be quite easy to connect Dish to a second TV. Here are the steps:

1. Find out where the main Dish box and the TV set is or are. Locate the coaxial cable that runs from the wall outlet to the Dish receiver.
2. Remove this cable from the Dish box input and connect to another cable via a coaxial splitter. This makes it possible to pass the signal through two cables.
3. Take one of the cables from the splitter and connect it to the input socket at the back of the Dish receiver.
4. Connect the second cable of the splitter to the coaxial outlet that is close to the second television that is desired to be connected.
5. Screw the other end of this second cable into the coaxial input of the second television on the back side.
6. Switch to the second television and look for the channels. The Dish programming and channels should now be available as previously stated.

Using HDMI with Splitter

If you have a Dish receiver and two TVs with HDMI ports, you can set up a powered HDMI splitter to create an HDMI connection. Here is how:

1. Attach the HDMI cable from the HDMI output of the Dish receiver to the HDMI “In” port of the splitter.
2. Take an HDMI cable and connect it to any of the splitter’s HDMI “Out” ports and connect the other end to the HDMI input port of the main TV closer to the Dish receiver.
3. Connect another HDMI cable from the second splitter’s “Out” ports to the HDMI input of your second TV in the other room.
4. Turn on all devices. Both TVs should now display the same content received from the Dish receiver.

This enables you to view Dish channels in High Definition from two distinct television places at the same time. Just note that there will be the same programming on two sets.

Getting a Dual Tuner

To watch different Dish programs simultaneously on the two TVs, one has to require a dual tuner from Dish.

The process of installation by the Dish tech will be very similar to that described above for the coax outlets already in place. However, with the dual tuner, you can choose different channels. Follow these steps:

1. The first TV output of the receiver should be connected to the main TV near the Dish with HDMI.
2. Wires the second output of the receiver to the coax wall outlet near the second television set.
3. This coax outlet should be connected to the second TV.
4. Use the Dish remote to scan for channels on the second TV.

Individual adjustment of the channel and the guide on each TV is now possible. This provides you with the best leverage you can ever get.

Linking Wirelessly with the Wireless HDMI Kit

If it is not possible to run cables between the rooms, then a wireless HDMI kit can be used. These employ transmitters and receivers to transmit the video signal between the Dish receiver and the second television wirelessly.

Here is how to set one up:

1. Plug the wireless HDMI kit’s transmitter box into the Dish receiver’s standard HDMI port.
2. Place it close to the video input ports on the back of the second TV as indicated in the diagram.
3. Plug the wireless receiver box into the television through HDMI.
4. Switch on the wireless boxes and devices. The video signal should now be wirelessly transmitted from the Dish receiver to the second TV in uncompressed 1080p HD quality.

Conclusion

Whether through coax runs that are currently present, HDMI splitters, two-tuner devices, or wireless kits – enhancing Dish connectivity to other rooms is easy for nearly every household. Both methods offer benefits and drawbacks, so read which suits your setup. Ensuring you have the appropriate equipment and outlets, you will be watching Dish programming on both big and small screens.
