Re: Directv HDTV - RCA Cones

Thanks Bob.... I guess that was my initial question.... how do I get
my second TV connected to the HD receiver.

Since there is no coaxial out from the H20 box, what do you suggest
me wiring the second TV with? I guess I can run RCA jack wire to the
second TV.

Since I already have cable running from run room to the next, how
expensive do you think an RF modulator would cost? And where can
I find that item?

I do have a second RF remote, so I'm all set up for the second room
remote-wise.

Again, thanks for the help.... everyone is an expert in something and
this is one area where I'm not, so I'm glad you can help.
