I have a settelight receiver working on one room. And I want to know what channel does my tv in another room view the same picture. I have only one reciever. But I know there is a channel I can watch the same picture as I do in the room with a reciever.
I have a coax out put in both rooms, and all hooked up to my settelight.
Please let me know the channel.
I have my tv set on cable instead of antenna, because that channel must be over 69.

you need to hook your coax cable to the receiver output, then put your second TV on the same channel as the first one. you can only view the same channel that the receiver is on.

Theres 2 ways you can go about this. Most satellite receivers only have one coaxial output on the back, so the way youve got it now probably isnt going to work.
The best way would be to use 1 coaxial cable from the receiver to the tv in the same room. The tv would run on channel 3 or 4. Then connect a set of RCA/composite cables (the ones that are red, white, and yellow on the ends) from the receiver to the tv in the other room. Then you would set the 2nd tv onto a video input to watch the receiver. Depending on how your receiver functions, you may need to have the power off on one tv while watching the other. OR you can simply have your coaxial cable from the receiver to the tv in the room, and then run a set of RCA cables from the tv in the room with the receiver to the tv in the 2nd room. The tv in the room would need to be on to send the picture to the 2nd tv, and the 2nd tv would need to be on a video setting.
