Hi satsaint, welcome to the forum.

Can you tell us how you have connected the receiver and tvs?

I assume you have used the video out but what have you done with the audio cables?

Well i didnt actually connect these in the first place, but everything was working fine , picture and sound ect, on both tv's, but a default factory reset was done on the receiver and then the problem surfaced? its a echostar silverline, i have a feeling it could be due to a setting? improbably wrong i dont know a lot about the setting up etc? theres two feeds coming out of the receiver going through a distributor and that hasant being touched, ?

Hi satsaint,
check if you have Dolby turned off in the menu, press the menu button and set Dolby to off, if that doesn't solve it, press your audio button and try altering the sound settings on an individual channel.
Please post back with the results.
Best wishes
