Splitter for TV box

I had a splitter on my satellite box which was co-ax terminals. Now they replaced the box with one that has HDMI. It does have RCA plugs. How can I hook up my other set?

What connections does that set have on it ?

That new box should have an F fitting that you can use for the other set.
It should be on Ch.3.

The set I want to hook up has co-ax running to it. There is no co-ax connection on the box.

Pretty rare to see a convertor without an F connector as that is the only way to connect to older sets.

Can you post the model of the convertor or a picture of the back so what we can see what there is to connect to.

Call "they [dish?]" and tell them what they installed is NOT going to work for you. To come back and install the proper splitter for your requirements.

You did not say which VIP 211 you have but if you have a VIP 211 or a VIP 211K you will have an analog coax out but if you have the VIP 211Z you are out of luck with that however with the VIP 211Z I suppose you can get an RF modulator and use the composite out for that

Here is the input/output matrix of the various VIP 211 models and the new Dish Wally
