    Hello, I need quick help

    I got 3 TVs in the house
    1) Philips HDTV (with tuner)
    2) Westinghouse HDTV (with no tuner)
    3) cheap SDTV

    Two Dish Network receivers, one HD DVR, second SD DVR.

    HD DVR is connected in the same room as Philips HDTV, used for Picture-in-Picture.

    Now the SD DVR, is located upstairs in beedroom connected to the SDTV. A single Coaxial cable goes downstairs to the Westinghouse HDTV.

    Here is the problem, Westinghouse has no tuner, I can't connect coaxial to it.

    What solution could i use?
    Could i use something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-DTBH260F-HDTV-Terrestrial-Receiver/dp/B000JV6TQY
    to convert the Coaxial cable from Dishnetwork DVR to Component?

    Please help.

    The DTBH260F does not have an analog tuner so it wouldn't work with the DVR RF output.

    Why not use a VCR as a tuner and use composite output?

    Neither the technical specifications nor the manual mention that the Samsung DTBH260F has an analog (NTSC) tuner, which is what the OP needs for either of the two analog coax outputs from his SD Dish satellite receiver. (If it's the one I saw, one coax output uses channel 3 or 4, and the other can be programmed to use one of a number of other channels.)

    Does the Samsung DTBH260F have an NTSC tuner, or are you merely using it for the clear QAM channels on your Comcast cable?

    I think that if the OP has access to a VCR, he should try it and see what happens. Component video or S-video will provide a better-looking SD picture, but a composite connection could be used for test purposes, assuming the TV has composite inputs. A DVD recorder that has an NTSC tuner and component out might also work for test purposes.
