The most important difference in these methods is whether the TVs will be able to simultaneously broadcast the same channel, or the view will be completely independent. Of course, the difference will be in the price, which will have to be paid for additional equipment.
In the event that the unfamiliar set of programs quite suits the whole family, you can buy:
- Additional cable of the required length;
- Required connectors;
- Signal divider.
Wiring
If the receiver is equipped with several connectors and the signal is applied to all these outputs, you can switch the second TV without problems. For the first TV, use an antenna cable, and for the second one, you will need to purchase the necessary SCART-RCA, SCART-SCART, RCA-RCA or HDMI-HDMI wire.
Important! Information on the passage of the signal is usually indicated in the technical documentation for the tuner.

connectors In order for the signal to be different, a cable splitter is purchased. For the antenna RF cable use splitters, which have minimal attenuation. Splitting the signal also uses the "tulip", HDMI and SCART splitters.
If you select HDMI, you must check the standard that is specified in the documentation. With this data, the length of the wire is selected.
Divider
It is also possible to purchase an HDMI divider, by means of which the signal is distributed to the number of TV devices that are needed.
Important! Do not always want to spoil the appearance of premises with unnecessary wires. Instead, you can use a video encoder. The structure of this device includes two units, which are switched with a TV and a tuner. The signal is transmitted via the Wi-Fi module. The signal is transmitted at a distance of up to thirty meters.

Before deciding how to connect Tricolor to two TVs, you need to think about all the options. This will require an assessment of the technical capabilities of the receiver and the television receivers themselves, the calculation of the length of the cables and the compilation of an approximate installation scheme.
Connection via RF cable
You can use a high-frequency TV wire to switch the second TV-set to the receiver. This activates the RF OUT output, which can be seen by carefully viewing the back panel of the device. 
To perform such a connection, use the TV wiring on which the papa-mama points are located. One of its ends is intended for connection to the output of the receiver, and the second - to plug into the input of the antenna socket on the TV-device.
Important! On the device that is connected, you need to enable the automatic channel search.
Connection via RF modulator
In the latest models of satellite receivers there is no RF modulator and RF OUT output. Before you connect the second Tricolor TV receiver to 2 TVs, you will need to purchase:
- Remote high-frequency modulator;
- Low-frequency RCA cable;
- Coaxial TV-wire 75 Ohm;
- F-connectors;
- F-plugs.
For switching to the mains, the RF modulator uses its own power supply, which is connected to an additional connection point of 230 V:
- Connect the RCA cable and the RCA-out jacks that are located on the rear of the receiver. Their colors coincide with the colors of the tips of the wire.
- Connect the second end of the wire and RCA inputs to the RF modulator.
- To the RF OUT-output, using the F-connector, connect the cable TV.The
- RF IN-input is closed by a 75-o F-plug.
- Connect the other end of the cable using the F-connector, and the "IN" connector on the satellite divider.
Important! The satellite divider has not one OUT-out, using which, it is possible to divide the signal from the receiver into several TV-receivers.
- Turning the power on.
- We perform automatic channel search.
Connection via RCA cable
How to connect Tricolor to 2 TV sets on your own? This option can be used in the event that the receiver supports the ability to simultaneously use several video outputs.
If the first TV is switched using an HDMI cable, free RCA or SCART outputs are used to connect the second one.
Important! To use the SCART connector to connect, use the SCART-RCA adapter. Then, on the TV device that is connected, the input signal is switched using the remote control.
This kind of connection is the simplest and most economical, since you do not need to install an RF modulator. The main drawback is that the wire has a limited length - up to fifteen meters.
In this article, we told you about several ways to connect multiple TVs to one receiver. We hope you were able to choose the most convenient option for yourself, and now every member of your family enjoys watching your favorite programs and movies during the broadcast.
