How do you set up a second tv using a dish network dual receiver?

Not knowing exactly what type of connectors are on both pieces of equipment, many TVs have RCA type connectors (round with holes on the middle of the female connectors) and are colored in Red Yellow and White. Assuming you have these types of connectors on both your TV and your stereo, get an RCA cable of sufficient length and connect the Red connector on the cable to the Red AUDIO output on the TV; connecting the other end of the cable to the Red Audio INPUT of the stereo. Do likewise with the white connector. Now you'll be able to play your TV sound thru your stereo system. Note the Yellow is usually reserved for Video.

∙ 10y agoThe main pieces of equipment for setting up a second TV on a Dish "dual tuner" receiver include a coaxial cable and an additional remote control. Route each coaxial cable from the individual TV to the main receiver box, and then use the settings on each remote to set the TV preferences.

∙ 11y agoTelevision sources vary but are commonly broadcast receivers such as satellite and cable receivers or digital terrestrial tuners.
There are several options to connect additional televisions to a single source. First, consider the video and audio signals:
If the source is a standard definition one with analog outputs, a simple video distribution amplifier will split the signal into to separate lines. The distribution amplifier needs to be chosen to match the signal type (composite, S-video, component or RGB). For the remote television, add good quality co-axial cables of the right length. Good cables allow a cable length of several hundred feet but be aware that many of the lowest cost video cables aren't as good as they could be. Look for cable that is marked with a cable type such as RG6, RG59, URM70 as examples. There are many other high quality video rated cable and the key is to find a cable that has a 75 Ohm characteristic impedance.
Audio will need another pair of cables but unlike video, the cables are not critical and in fact, the audio source can usually be split and routed to both televisions without a distribution amplifier.
Moving to HD signals, the connector will be HDMI from the source. To split it, you will need an HDMI distribution amplifier or splitter. They can be found on Ebay or Amazon among other places but beware - Both have hundreds of "HDMI splitter" units that in fact are switches to select one of two sources. Make sure you only get a splitter that is confirmed as a single input to two outputs. Also, there are a number of HDMI male to twin HDMI female adaptor leads. They DO NOT work and can only be used for one connection at a time.
HDMI signals carry video and audio so no other audio is needed.
HDMI cables are limited in length and for long runs, they get to be breathtakingly expensive. An alternative for long signal runs is to to use an HDMI over CAT6 or CAT6 converter. These use a pair of network cables instead of an HDMI cable and they offer a lower cost alternative to the longer HDMI cables.
Finally, you will probably want to to control the source from both viewing locations. You will need an infra-red extender that receives the signal from a hand control and routes it back to the source and then to a small infra-red emitter which controls the source.
This is a very general guide. Sources such as cable or satellite receivers or disc players may have slightly different outputs and you will need to be guided by the connectors on both your sources and televisions. The installation methods and cable choices will depend on the layout of your home to an extent and you may want to consult with a supplier before ordering equipment. While it is a relatively simple task to install a second television, doing some research on your specific equipment is well worth the effort. Always remember that all good equipment suppliers or Home Theater specialists will be happy to offer advice free of charge.

I have not personally connected one TV to another TV, but I know that it can be done through the use of a HDMI splitter or a video/audio cable.
A HDMI splitter allows you to connect multiple HDMI devices to a single HDMI port on your TV, while a video/audio cable can be used to connect the audio and video output from one TV to the audio and video input of another TV.
The method you choose will depend on the specific TVs and equipment you are working with.

Actually, you can use a legacy receiver with a DISH Pro dish. An adapter is needed at the receiver to get the proper signal for that receiver. No, Dish Pro is a stacked technology, which the older 3700 will not recognize.
