dstv dual view to single view conversion

[sak]

hello all

i have a dual view decoder with a dual view subscription.yesterday i cancelled my dual view subscription because i dont have a need for it anymore.i was under the impression that i could view on tv2 whatever was on tv1.to my horror i dont get any picture on tv2 at all.is there any way i could get a single view picture on tv2 using my dual view decoder.

any help would be greatly appreciated

many thanks

Yes, get a splitter box. TV1 cable feed in. TV1 and TV2 feed out.

If TV1 is connected with RCA/composite (yellow, red + white) cables to the TV, and TV2 is connected with coaxial cables... then just change the coaxial from TV2 to TV1 on the back of the decoder

The old dual view decoder (not PVR) did not transmit TV1 via RF, only via composite AV. You will need a modulator to watch TV1 via RF.

ah ok, very odd exclusion. Although I guess they just figured TV2 would be the preferred channel to distribute around the house

This was Dual View/XtraView and TVlink control in it's infancy... 2004 I think.
