Mercury II-Two TVs

[Jim-S]

Two TV's
I have been thinking, if this would work...I have a Mercury II and it is connected to the TV with YPbPr. Now if I were to come off the receiver with the TV out coax and send that to a second TV, and use an RF remote from the receiver to where the second TV is, would this work. If so I could use all the features of the receiver at the second TV, including moving the dish. I have not tried this yet, I could try just the second TV to see if it would work before buying a remote.
Any thoughts on this.

This way you'll be watching the same channel on both tv's. If you change the channel from a room, the other room would change channel too.

Thanks......that would not be a problem, my wife can watch her cable and I could watch satellite. This is just a thought if I would want to do this.

yes that will work just fine.

I have a channel 3 combiner for one of my FTA receivers. It combines the output of the receiver (channel 3) and my OTA antenna and goes to another room. So if I want to watch FTA I tune to 3. Otherwise its the OTA channels

Great; thanks......................

I've gotten a remote extender and I can use both TV's with one receiver and the same remote. Pretty cool................

Jim, Wow, that is cool. I didn't think the Mercury II antennae out would work that way. Nice to know..
