From what I remember the second tv on a satellite receiver just needs be on one certain channel and it uses an RF remote to change the channels on the main box in the other room. My solution would be this....plug the coax into the input on the vcr...set the vcr to whatever channel is need to the satellite...then using composite..run the red/white audio cables from the VCR OUT to the receiver and the yellow video cable from VCR OUT to TV IN. You will no longer get any sound on the tv speakers only the receiver and channels can be changed as normal. Just remember the vcr will need to be on and set to that special channel to watch anything.

Oohh.. I like that! That sounds like a possibility. I don't think they would care if TV sound no longer worked.

These are all great ideas!
