How do I connect my LCD TV to my satellite box and my DVD player at the same time?

Question

This is all I know so far: the satellite signal (cable) comes from the wall and hooks up to the splitter that has two cables (In 1 and In 2 is what they're called) that go into the back of the satellite box. There's also a third cable that goes from the splitter to the back of the box into a connection that is labeled " TV ch 3-4". Then I have the phone cable hooked up to the back of the box along with the RCA cables. I have to more advanced RCA Cables (red, green, and blue) hooked up from my LCD to my DVD player. Now I just need to know what cables hook up between the LCD and the satellite box and where exactly. The other connections that I have benhind the box that do not have anything hooked up to it are labeled "CH 21-69 OUT" and "Cable/TV Antenna"

Answer 1

You should use the component cables (red, blue, green from your DVD player to your TV. You did not say if your satellite provides HDTV. It appears that it does not. Your satellite box should have composite (yellow, white, red) connections as well as s-video (small 4-pin connector). If it does, that is what you should use to connect to your TV, s-video perferred (you also need the red/white audio connections with s-video). Only as a last resort should you use the RF (TV ch 3/4) output, as it will give the poorest quality. Your TV input selector will switch between the various inputs (composite, s-video and component).

If you use the RF out, it goes to the antenna input of your TV. On the back of the satellite box you select either ch 3 or ch 4 (use the one that does not have a broadcast station in your area) and tune the TV to that channel. If you are also using an antenna or cable TV, the antenna should plug into the "Cable/TV antenna" input of your satellite box.
