Same audio and video

Are both TVs showing the same thing? This can happen if your remote is in the wrong mode or if both TVs are using the same tuner. Try these steps.

1. Press SAT on your remote

 

On your DISH remote, press and release SAT. This puts your remote back in TV receiver mode.

2. Check for a shared tuner

 

Press the red button or Options on your remote, then select TV Activity. If only one tuner is playing the show you see on both TVs, the TVs are sharing that tuner.

 

To watch different shows, pick another tuner. You may need to stop a recording to free one up. You can also watch a recording or something on demand.
