Satellite Receiver Hookup

[Richard Hayden]

That wouldn't be the first time Jim. Although, as I just replied to Tom, I did
try going through the existing setup and had trouble. It's been awhile but I
seem to recall a problem with the splitters behind the switch/amp box. Maybe I
have a problem there and it just isn't showing up the way I using it now with
only 1 tv.

BY the way, I also think that Dick is wrong.
