Connecting to the Remote TVs (TV1 or TV2)
to your cable system. The places where the splitter indicates I
N refers to where the TV
signal is fed into the splitter.
17 Find where the TV signal is distributed throughout your house. It should be near where the
cable TV service enters the house.
18 Disconnect the cable TV service cable or antenna cable from the splitter input, if
necessary. Make sure the disconnected cable is capped or otherwise protected from the
weather.
19 Disconnect the cable coming from the receiver HOME DISTRIBUTION port from the splitter. If
you do not know which cable this is, go to the next step. Otherwise, go to step 21.
20 If you have multiple TVs on the cable system, do the following to determine which cable
on the splitter is coming from the receiver:
• If you have at least some picture on your TVs, turn on all remote TVs connected to the
cable system. Disconnect and reconnect each cable one by one observing what
happens to the TVs. When all remote TVs lose the signal, you have disconnected the
receiver’s cable. If only some or one TV loses the signal, then you have disconnected
a cable from the TVs.
• If the above step does not work, disconnect one of the output cables and connect to
the splitter input. If you do not see a picture, connect the cable back to its output.
Repeat this step on every connection until you get a picture on the remote TV(s).
21 Reconnect the receiver’s cable to the input of the splitter.
22 Make sure you have a good picture on your remote TV(s).
23 If desired to remind you of which TV channel your satellite programming is on, write the
channel number you wrote in step 5 on a blank channel sticker and place it on or near
your remote TV(s). The stickers are inside the front cover of this guide.
24 Confirm Remote Control 2 (or Remote Control 1 with a Green UHF Pro key, sold
separately) controls the receiver. See page 73 for instructions.
25 Program Remote Control 2’s (or Remote Control 1 with a Green UHF Pro key, sold
separately) RECOVER to the channel you selected in step 5. See page 82 for instructions.
