Can someone please give me some detailed info on how to hook two showstoppers to the same tv.

Does your TV have more than one input? (likely yes) If so, just plug each unit into it's own input (if not, you'll need a switcher)


Also, check out this section of the FAQ:

I would think you need to :


1) Have your incoming cable or satellite signal split to feed each showstopper and optionally the TV directly for watching live tv (although I never do anymore)

2) Take the S-Video and audio or the RCA video/audio jacks from each showstoper and plug into the inputs on your TV.

3) If it an older one that only has one input - a Coax jack, then I would say you need either:

A) An audio/video switch to toggle the inputs to the TV - this might be a 2-way switch for the two SS's or a three way - two SS's and the original cable input

B) A modulation solution that would take the cable input plus the outputs from the two SS's and combine them to one coax line to the TV. ChannelPlus for example has a nice box - the 3025 I think - that takes the cable plus two inputs, modulates the two inputs to occupy two unused channels and then can send out up to 5 coax runs to 5 devices. In this case the TV would have one incoming coax and each showstopper would be a channel. Then you have to deal with the remote control aspects. The Channel+ box has an IR engine so with IR targets + emitters it can take care of it. Scan the forums for IR or IR emitter and see what you get - this has been discussed a lot.
