You need to buy a splitter in order to put one to the DVD recorder and one to the tv from the decoder. You should be able to get one at the Local Radio Shack or other electronics store.
If you need help locating a store, please let me know
Otherwise Thank you for using Fixya and Have a Good Day!
Easiest way would be use the HDMI output from your Satellite Receiver box to your new TV. If you don't have a Satellite Receiver box at that location, you'll need to get one from your service provider.
Your TV will not interface directly with the dish - you need the equivalent of a cable box to decode the signals from the dish, select channels, etc.
If you are asking can you connect a satellite dish DIRECTLY to the input of an HDTV the answer is no. The satellite signal is encoded and requires a decoder box to decrypt and separate the input signals that will be sent to the set.
I'm wondering where in the mix is your satellite receiver? The recorders currently on the market aren't able to decode digital satellite signals. They are capable of decoding cable but i'm unaware of any that work on satellite.
Are you using any kind of Decoder or Set Top box to receive your TV signal? If so you can connect the RCA OUTPUT from your cable or satellite decoder, to the Yamaha inputs. See the picture I have attached for you. Then when you want to hear the sound from there, select DTV /CBL input on your remote control of the Yamaha receiver.
Or you can locate the SOUND or AV OUTPUT (Red and white RCA connection) at the back of you TV, and connect the cables from there to your Yamaha receiver.
I have seen this happen, working with a satellite dish. You may have to call your satellite service r for a reboot. Or you may pull the decoding card out and unplug the satellite box. Wait ten minutes, insert decoding card, plug the satellite box and power it up along side of the TV. If problems persist, replace the box. Thanks for asking and show all hands of support!
I really need to know the model number of your Insignia TV and which connections you are using between the Dish box and the TV to give you the correct answer. If you are connecting both cable and satellite, I believe it should be set-up as follows:
1. Connect cable feed to TV
2. Run auto channel scan on "cable" setting
3. Connect Dish box to TV and then try changing the "input" selection.
With the Dish box switched on to a channel number you know, try pressing the "INPUT" or "SOURCE" button on your Insignia TV remote repeatedly until you find the satellite feed. Once you have done so, you should be able to change satellite channels using the Dish remote.
If you need further assistance, please post back with the model number of your TV and details of the connections you are using on the back of the TV.
Hi mfaille
I`m going to help you with your setup but first;
Which connection are you using from the sat receiver to the tv?
Coax / standard rg6 cable?
Did you try to manually add(in the menu/tuner setup/find channel/add) the channel you need ?
