Satellite Signal Mirroring

We have Winnebago View with Dish Network. One receiver-two TVs. The front TV is connected to the receiver via HDMI. Works great. How can I get the rear TV to view the same as the front. The HDMI input choice on the rear TV gives no picture.

I called Dish Network. They said there is something called mirroring using a splitter. How can this be connected to generate a sat receiver out signal for the rear. The Receiver is RF remote so channel changes can be made from the rear of the camper.

thanks for any help.
  • I assume you use one of these boxes: Splitter You'd run the cable from the dish to this splitter and then run one cable back to the rear TV from the splitter box and another to the front TV. So you'll need the splitter and a short cable to make it work.
  • I had a dish receiver like that, 722k maybe? Main TV was tuner 1 on HDMI, second TV was tuner 2 via coax (rf).

    The high tech way is a hopper and a Joey, then you'll have HD on both TV's plus DVR at both TV's.
  • HDMI splitter and a cable or a wireless HDMI EXTENDER.$200.

    The advantage of that is you can have a second TV anywhere outside etc.
