    go to the main rcvr, take your #1 remote
    push menu
    push 6 system setup
    push 5 modulator setup

    look to the right for tv 2..what channel is it on..most likely it will be either 60 or 73

    now go to your tv 2...take your tv remote ( not dish remote )
    push menu
    push channel setup
    select autoprogram
    your tv will do a channel scan and will lock onto channel 60 or 116 AIR/ANTENNA
    OR channel 73 or 22 CABLE.

    you might try changing your output to a cable signal in the modulator, menu 6,1,5 set to cable. if this doesn't work then you can replace your adapter
