Satellite question

Roy...OP doesn't want the old box
The neighbor wants Sat tv on All his tv's..
He needs to convert to HDMI cables
Or
Get slave Sat boxes to connect to each tv

The only easy thing I can think of would be to run the HDMI to the main TV and use a second HDMI output or the banana plugs to go to some device like a DVD player that would have a coax output for the bedroom TV.

You of course would have to convert his replaced SAT RCVR to your SATELLITE TV ACCOUNT etc...

We did this all the time before Digital NATL BORADCAST TV came out. Ran a RG Cable from one of the SAT DISH connections to a SAT TV RCVR. Then ran VIDEO cables out of the SAT RCVR to the trailer VIDEO INPUT connection. Actually did the same thing going to a second SAT RCVR in the Bedroom area.

This gave us standard mode SAT TV in both areas to use from the one PORTABLE SAT DISH which had two ports coming from it.

When the digital NATL BROADCAST TV came out we finally stopped bringing along the SAT TV stuff and just use the OTA BATWING roof TV antenna to pick up full blown high def TV from the NATL BROADCAST NETWORK free to use. HDTV was much better to watch and all we watch is NCIS and WX/NEWS/24-7 Local Radar anyway...

In answer to your question. Yes. But very expensive. Cheaper to get another box.

Everybody is screaming for HD so that is what is being put on the market.

There are HDMI/coax converters but they are expensive. You can find them on Amazon or any really really good electronics store. Maybe cheaper to replace the coax to the TVs with HDMI cables. Does the receiver have RCA connectors? If it does you can get a converter/combiner. This is what I did. Much cheaper, easier to use and find. BUT the combiner/converter needs 110v. OR if box has RCA connectors, replace coax with RCA cables. RCA is better than HDMI.
