Jody,

Two possiblities I can think of for you problem. First of all you need to check you signal meter and make sure it is steady and preferably above 80. If it's not you either have a dish pointing problem or a hardware problem between your LNB & IRD.

You are also using the worst method of connecting you TV to your IRD. The best way (with standard IRD's) is with a S-Video cable, the second best choice is using your composite video or RCA type video jack, and last the way you are doing it now using your coax.

I would suggest you change you primary TV to S-Video and continue using coax for the second.
