Good Day.

Yes, it's possible to connect a 3rd TV, but it may require some additional equipment and may not allow you to watch different programs simultaneously on both TVs.

In order to fully answer your question, can you please provide us with further information?

Dependiong on your existing method of connection & setup, there are devices on the market that will allow you to split the single. E.g. Multi switch, HDMI or coaxial cable splitter. Using any of these, may degrade your signal & cause interference.

Take care.

I have a Bell satellite dish tied to two Bell 6500 receivers via coax cable which feed 2 tvs, with choice of hdmi and video component 3 wire type connection. I have a coax running from one tv(bsmt, tv no 2) of my two existing tv locations to a 3rd tv location. I understand that I may only be able to watch one channel on the 3rd tv, which would be the same channel as the one I would be connected too, tv no 2. I have installed IR remote extenders so I will be able to change the channel on the Bell 6500 box tied to tv no 2 from the tv no 3 room. Hope I made that clearer rather than more complicated. I believe I need a device that will take either and hdmi or video component feed from Bell 6500 box connected to my TV no 2 and output that signal to coax cable feeding tv no 3. Makes sense?

Good Day.

Thank you for your quick reply. There are limitations on what you can or cannot do. You have made it much clearer. Based on my experience there are limitations. My earlier suggestions will not do what you are wishing to achieve. I am not aware any other option if you are looking to control & change channels with what you are suggesting.

Hopefully another member will be able to come up with a device that will solve adding & controlling the 3rd tv.

Take care.
