one decoder, 2 TV's

[IceQB]

Did you tune your 2nd tv to correct frequency as set on your decoder?

The 2nd tv only has NTSC, PAL & AUTO and none of them are picking up dstv

What frequency am I supposed to be using?

 

[IceQB]

Tune into channel or some newer tv's you can just put in the frequecy

Those are broadcast formats, not frequencies. Tune it on UHF as you would tune into a standard old fashioned SABC / e-tv signal.

EDIT: The correct format is PAL

He's got an old decoder, which is not XtraView capable, so he would then need 2 new decoders...

My bad...

Setback amplifier will be useless with your current decoder...

I agree. Forget about the amplifier . They in any case more of an interference on your signal if not tuned in correctly .And as Q..T.. stated , does not fit in your current setup. Just go with a new decoder.
