Hello,
I have 2 TVs... one digital and an old one with a decoder...
the digital one is connected to a TPS decoder and works well with a satellite dish... with an Orange live box next to it... the other one is in another room and used to work well with its decoder and another antenna, but I’ve lost reception! I have 2 HD+ live plugs and a decoder for the Orange TV that I have never connected... can you give me a solution to receive programs on the old TV..... is it possible? Thank you!!!!

Hello,
You just need to plug one liveplug into the livebox and another next to the old TV on the Orange TV decoder. Then you need to connect the old TV to the Orange TV decoder. I can't tell you more since I don't have a livebox, but I've already done it at friends' houses, it works. You should have everything explained in the Orange documentation provided with the livebox and the liveplugs.
Best regards

basic rule 1 dish with 1 head 2 outputs + 2 cables = 2 receivers

Indeed, if you have a recording decoder, with two heads connected via two cables to a single decoder, like the Cube from Canal Plus, you can watch one program while recording a second one. So, you need another solution to connect a second TV.

or a so-called "Quad" head with 4 outputs + 3 cables for 3 inputs (tuner) from any satellite, and so on, max "Octo" head (8 outputs) for 1 chosen satellite, e.g., Astra or Hot-Bird or Eutelsat 5WA. If in addition to the DTT (aerial), a multi-distributor (multi-switch, coupler, splitter functions) is required to distribute everything...

Hello, thanks for the response .... I tried the connection: old TV connected to the Orange decoder and plugged in via a plug, the other plug connected to the socket with the livebox and modern TV, but here's the thing .... the old TV displays 'no signal' .... as if despite the plugs, an antenna were still needed??? Too bad, because I do have an antenna socket next to the old TV but it's not a satellite antenna, it's a rabbit ears antenna!!!! Is it normal that it doesn't work? I thought all this was going through the electrical sockets and the plugs .... and yes, I'm blonde LOL .. so thanks for your explanations!!!!
