Message on 2nd TV?

What does the message say?

Sounds like a pre programmed message from the receiver
Because you have two tv's connected

I have the X2 Winegard with HD Dish receiver n my 5th wheel. I have 2 TV's with one receiver so I sent the HDMI output to my bedroom TV and component video to the living room TV. Both TV's are HD flat screens but I get a strange message on my TV's when both are on sometimes and its some kind of HD regulations that I don't know how to get rid of on the 2nd TV unless I unplug the HDMI cable. its just on HD channels but it doesn't happen all the time. Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?

Just call the Dish tech service and they will walk you through the problem. 1-800-309-0370

The message has to do with Digital Rights Management (copyright rules) and it can be caused by a TV that is somehow not giving the receiver the proper information via the HDMI link. I have an LG from 4 years ago that occasionally triggers a similar message from my DirecTV DVR. Fortunately in this case the message goes away on its own. That's about all I know on the subject, so I can't help you resolve it. Sorry.

It's similar to what you said I just don't remember the what it was called. I did call dish and they said it was something that movie industry put in place but I'm not sure that's right. I used a good quality HDMI cable and my TV is a few years old so maybe that's the problem but like your it doesn't come on all the time. Im not using my 5th wheel for a few weeks or so but wanted to try to resolve the problem.
Thanks for the help

"Message on 2nd TV"

Does it look anything like this ?

My daughter's TV and Dish receiver also gets occasionally crossed up on Digital Rights Management for "true HD" content, which uses only HDMI or DVI connectors at the TV.

If it doesn't fix itself with a power-off, it does when we re-boot the TV (which is a fairly complex computer) by unplugging it briefly. Problem is not always a cable, there is a communications protocol required between source (BluRay player, HD cable receiver or HD satellite receiver) and the HD display (TV or monitor) that says: "the manufacturer of this display paid the license fees" and sometimes the messages get out of sequence, or the answers get forgotten in the tables maintained by the source box. This will happen particularly if you start switching different displays at a single output of the HD video source.
