I've been looking all over for an answer to an issue I read about almost 6 years ago on this forum.The OEM video control center will redirect HD signals from OTA signals to both front and back TV's, however when hooked up to the sat receiver you can't get HD to the rear TV because the coaxial out put from the sat receiver box will only put out SD signals. The video control center is not the problem internally, it's the input connecter not being HDMI.With ALL the questions on this problem with people wanting to get HD to the rear TVs, the obvious answer would be to have an HDMI connecter to the Video Control Center. Does ANYONE know if this is available or why this can't be done?

you would need to use a hdmi splitter, and run individual hdmi cords.can't compare dish to cat or ota, dish doesn't send hd over the coax it requires hdmi

I had hdmi cords run in my coach and shortly after it was done direct tv said I would have to use component cables. Then I hooked up a dvr VCR recorder, with the sat rec going to dvr VCR byway of in component then putting dvr VHS on channel 3, then coming out with cable splitter to the two tv's. If anyone knows another please report. I do not want to run new cables again. Thanks sky

We got an DMI splitter from Monoprice.com (around $40) and a 50ft HDMI cable to run to the rear of the rig. Works like a champ, long as you don't want separate programming on the two units.al

But if you could use the HDMI from the receiver to the Video Control Center, you could have HD to all TVs via the coaxial cable that comes out of the VCC.
