A SMW system needs 21v to the dish, the red power pass through port is connected to the power supply either with an external power inserter or built in with the HR54/HS17 with the out connected to the coax to the dish.  Everything else is connected to the other open ports doesn't matter which one you use.  There is no power to anything else.

Hi, @apbp2727. For us to make sure that we're providing you with the right information, could you provide us a screenshot or picture of your TVs specifically both of the devices? We'll also send you a DM to conduct a more in-depth investigation into this matter.
