I just got Dtv yesterday and am trying to split the output signal to the other back tv. However, I can get a picture with no color or sound. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem. Thank you.

Dish TV or Digital TV as in cable?

Dish requires converter boxes.

Does the output of your DTV box have a cable that connects to the antenea in on your T.V. and you set your T.V. to channel 3 or 4? If so, and you are splitting it before the T.V., then double check to make sure that the other T.V. is on the same channel 3 or 4 as your first T.V.
If your running it thru a VCR, try the T.V./VTR switch on the remote and/or change it's channel to 3 or 4.
