Hi with the channels changing on both TV’s there could be a couple of things going on. You will want to make sure the receiver is in dual mode. In the middle of the receiver you should see a Yellow light; it will be lit under one box or 2 boxes. If you see it light under the solo box you will need to put it in dual mode. At the front right of the receiver there is a mode button, hold it down until it changes to dual. Check the 2nd TV by changing the channels. I will provide you our link with full details of this issue: http://www.mydish.com/support/same-video-2-tvs?WT.svl=leftnav
