Hello.
I need an advice on this issue. I have Verizon Fios DVR/cable box hooked to
TV by component cable. I would like to connect second TV set to the same box
(about 75 feet apart) Problem is my second TV set is old one with no component
ports, just old coax cable connector. Is there any splitter/converter to make
such connection or I need to buy new TV with component ports?

Thank you

Alex K.

Are there any other outputs on the STB?
If so which type?

Run an RF coax (RG-59 or RG-6) from the STB output to the "old" TV's RF coax input.

Caveat being that both TV's can only show the same channel that was selected on the STB.

I have Motorolla QIP6416-2 box.
Outputs:
HDTV Component video (Y Pb Pr), IEEE 1394, HDMI
Standard TV S-Video, composite video, RF remod (optional)
Audio Left/right baseband, optical and coaxial S/PDIF
Data USB 2.0, 10/100Base-T Ethernet, SATA (optional)


The problem is it's not regular STB box with TV-in and TV-out connectors,like Motorola2500-3, it's DVR/Cable box with NO TV-OUT!

In that case, you will still need to run a coax cable and insert a device like this:

Video/audio output from STB to video/audio input of modulator, coax out from modulator to RF input of TV.

I'm lost. I see a couple TV-Outs. Are you trying to be able to tune to different stations when not using the DVR feature?

If so, split your cable before the box.. run one to your box and the other to the old TV. In addition, run the composite/audio to your old tv from the box. You'll be able to utilize the old TV's tuner via the split coax and still tap into shows that are recorded on the DVR.

Make sense?

Dear Ratman and Frorule! I need more details on this issue (I'm very video virgin)
You can see back panel of my DVR/Cable box at: bdoadband motorola com/
catalog/product_documents/QIP6416-520408-001-a.pdf
Now box connected to new TV via component cable (Y, Pl, Pr) and A/V cable with two connectors from box Audio out outlet. So you suggest to use RF modulator from RadioShack. DVR box still has Video Out port vacant, so should I
connect Video/Audio Out ports on DVR box to Video/Audio In ports on modulator and then run coax cable from modulator to my old TV?

I'm lost. I see a couple TV-Outs.

Perhaps he's referring to "RF out" (coax).

If your old TV doesn't have a yellow/composite input option, then yes, that sounds good.

I'm gonna try this setup and then let you know on outcome

I've bought RF modulator and hooked it up as advised and now everything works! Thank you very much for help.

Super! Glad you got positive results. Enjoy.

I have a cable company-issued DVR where some shows get saved forever! There is a function built in to send a specific show to an external recorder. But the "OUT to recorder" is component and the manual on my DVD recorder says it will record from its RF In, which is coax.
Does anyone know if the above mentioned solution would work in my scenario?

Most cable company -issued DVRs also have a composite out. Connect this to your DVD recorder. Just play the show on the cable company -issued DVR and hit record on the DVD recorder.
