External HDMI options for splitting tv box

richo106 · May 10, 2018

Hi,

I’ve got my virgin media box in one room with a TV (lounge) and would like to able to watch it on another tv (Kitchen)

Is it possible to split the HDMI signal to watch on both TVS simultaneously?

If possible I will need to run the cable outside along the wall (5m) then pop back behind the tv in kitchen.

What would be the best way to do this? Can you get extender sets that only need power at one end? As it’s tight behind my TV in the kitchen

All help and suggestions greatly appreciated

Thanks

I use one of these...

Sorry, very poor pic but I'm not at home right now. Anyway, HDMI into the back from TV, audio too, take a simple coax out to the secondary TV. You select the output channel and job done.
There are other solutions, but this was very inexpensive, and does the job. I think it's called something fancy like an RF attenuator??? but maybe I'm making that up...
