how many tv's do you have hooked up? I have an 8 way powered splitter and was wondering if I could hook up 4 tv's and not hurt the signal.

I have two digital TV attached. Also I have installed a signal amplifier attached to the antenna. But I don't know the direct answer to your question. It seems to me that the signal amplifier (at less than $20) would make sense if you live on the edge of the TV transmitter coverage area.

im sry didnt get to finish my response after i have the devices RCA cables split into my tv in the living room and the transmitter... then i have the receiverin my bedroom and i can use that device on both my tv in living room and tv in bedroom. Interference really not that bad. i Actually bought two sets and have only one receiver in my bedroom but two transmitters in living room connected to two devices and the one receiver in my room has 4 channels on it so i can switch between both devices WHICH ARENT EVEN IN THE ROOM, pretty awesome just plan your setup well because this all may have sounded very confusing but it really isnt just plan it out im sry didnt get to finish my response after i have the devices RCA cables split into my tv in the living room and the transmitter... then i have the receiverin my bedroom and i can use that device on both my tv in living room and tv in bedroom.

Yes, an ordinary cable splitter like: RCA DH24SPR Two Way 2.4 Ghz Bi-Di Splitter should be fine. If you have a longer cable run, you may want something with a repeater in it to boost the signal. I've plugged in 2 TVs at a time this way with no problems at all.

If you have a splitter, I'd say two tvs...fyi.. If you aren't in the cities, this one sucks. Spend the money. Please learn from my lesson! Lol

Fred the TWC HDMI output to the splitter, then HDMI to the other tv's should work fine. Good advise from David B.

I only have two TV's hooked up to it, and it shows on both at the same time. Keep in mind that the first monitor will go dark for a few seconds once the second monitor has its HDMI chat with the box. I would assume it will display on up to 4 monitors/TVs/displays at the same time, but I haven't tried (no need for me).

Thank you Roy and John for your responses. Both replies make sense. I wasn't aware that the cable box had multiple "active" outputs. I assumed that the unit only sent signal out of one output at a time. I'll have to run an experiment. Thanks again for the suggestions! Jack

A powered splitter like this is required: HD 4 Port HDMI 1x4 3D Powered Splitter Ver 1.3 Certified for Full HD 1080P (One Input to Four Outputs). I just hooked 50 ft. HDMI cables (Sept. 2014) to this splitter and the TVs work. I have been using 25 ft. cables. My splitter is now in the basement. Yay!

You definitely can use it with multiple TVs. Depending on the strength of your initial signal, you may need a preamplifier or distribution amplifier though. I encourage you to get advice on your unique installation from our free tech support at 877-825-5572.

You need one per TV. Splitting the feed will reduce signal strength to each TV set, and you won't receive all of the channels that you should.

If your TVs are not "digital ready", meaning they have a converter built in, you'll need one for each TV that isn't ready. You can buy a splitter to use one converter for multiple TVs but each TV will have to watch the same channel. Many newer TVs already have this built in.

As it arrives in the box from Amazon, only one. But you may add a coaxial splitter to the line in order to connect more than one. (Not sure how this would affect the signal -- but I would strongly suggest adding such a splitter BETWEEN the TVs and the amplifier module (small rectangular box) rather than between the antenna and this module.Hope that helped ...

This isn't an answer, but clarifying the question, since I have the same problem. I expected two cables - a red and a white to go from L/R audio out on the TV to L/R audio in on the box. What I GOT with the unit was ONE cable, split into R/W (two plugs) on one end and with only ONE plug (black) on the other end. So how do we connect four ports with the three plugs? This has nothing to do with the power supply. Thanks!

I used a cable splitter. One connection for the cable to go to the TV and another for the adapter.

You would lose at least 3 dB or half the power if split in two plus the loss through the splitter - likely 4.5 dB total. Also, Noise figure may increase. That is a significant loss of power. Depending on how good your reception is, it is worth a try, but you may need another low noise amp or simply another antenna for the second TV.

I haven't tried it, but I'm sure you can use a cable splitter to hook it up to multiple TV's but not sure about the quality.

The Optical out from the TV needs to connect into a splitter with an optical in . From that point on just connect each line out from the splitter into each box.Let me know what it sounds like? You will need 3 optical connections plus an optical splitter (1 in and 2 out)
