[oops!]

I recently switched to Time Warner cable from Dish Network. I have two TV's. My primary TV has a Scientific Atlanta 8300 HDTV DVR box. I would like to add a box to my secondary TV in order to get the TW programming guide (don't need the DVR part). I am on a limited budget, can I use older (thrift store) boxes intended for use with Direct TV or Dish network to achieve this? My secondary TV is on a seperate input line.

Thanks,
Jim

You might check with your direct TV provider.
Depending on the deal you got,you may be able to get another box for it.

Do it how I did it.

Buy a remote control extender. Run a splitter from the cable box to the second TV.

How does theremote know which TV to turn on?

You program the remote for the TV brand. Also, there are other devices like this that have a small IR transmitter that you stick in front of the IR receiver for the cable box so the remote TV doesn't see the power on command.
