View Full Version : 3 TV's from a single 625?

I have a 625 running my main TV in the living room, and my small TV in the bedroom. I would like to get a signal into my garage for a small TV that I would use when working out. Would it be possible to split the signal or somehow access the signal that goes to TV 2, on the garage TV? I very rarely even use it, and NEVER at the same time as the bedroom TV, so that's not an issue. I could pick up a spare RF remote from Ebay (unless that wouldn't work for some reason, then I could just tote my 2nd remote back and forth). I just don't want to pay $5 per month for an extra box that we would rarely use.
It is absolutely possible. I run the TV2 output from my 625 to four different TVs.

OK how do I do it? I'm not really an expert in DBS talk so be simple for me....

Go buy an RF splitter (Radio Shack, Lowe's, HOme Depot, etc). run a short piece of coax off the TV2 RF output, then your long runs of coax to each location that is to get the signal.
Or, look here and maybe you can do it wireless -
