How to Split a Signal on Direct TV
- 1). Remove the coaxial cable connecting your television to the satellite receiver. Only disconnect it from the satellite receiver side because you need to connect it back later.
- 2). Connect a channel splitter to the "out" port of the DIRECTV satellite splitter (where the coaxial cable is connected). The splitter is a small rectangular device with one input on one side leading to two outputs on the other side.
- 3). Reattach the coaxial cable from the television to one of the available connectors on the channel splitter.
- 4). Connect a different coaxial cable to the other available connector on the channel splitter. Plug the other end into the "in" port on your secondary television.
- 5). Power on the DIRECTV satellite dish receiver and the two televisions. The televisions display whatever station the receiver is on.
