this has two hdmi outputs.. can I watch cable tv or a blu ray on two seperate tv's at the same time with volume?

To clarify, the receiver can output video to 2 TVs at the same time, but not audio. I have this setup now. I have the ONKYO receiver sending video to my main TV as well as to my bar TV. Sound goes through the receiver speakers, not the TV.

no. this splitter starts at one source and goes to two different tvs. not one tv to two different sources. sorry. i will say that product is out there. make sure you have good hdmi cables.

I can't answer the specific question as I am a novice regarding electronics in general, but I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a "splitter" for HDMI Cable as it would seem that this would solve your problem

Wait, are you saying you have 2 HDMI connections between the tv and receiver?

No this is the opposite, this is for splitting one source (cable box) into two TVs. What you need is a HDMI switch. Like these (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_4?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-k;eywords=hdmi%20switch&sprefix;=hdmi%2Celectronics%2C288)

Yes buy a receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. That way you can connect all your accessories (cable box, blu-ray player, game consoles, etc) directly to the receiver, which will be connected to the surround speakers.

If you are thinking you can utilize 2 seperate devices through the receiver, I don't think so. If you are trying to augment the HDMI device, That's where I get a little hazy..... Running a fully digital HDMI device I wouldn't think that it's necessary. But I don't think that it would hurt either. Basically there are multiple inputs, but only one output sort of. Your watching a video, you get the sound for that too. Your listening to music, nothing shows on the video.

There are 3 inputs, so you shouldn't have a problem with those 3 cables. But do you also use an hdmi cable for your cable/fios/satellite service? If so, then there wouldn't be enough for you.

No, nsa, as Don A. says, this box takes the HDMI output from one device -- like your blu ray player, and splits it to send the signal to two TVs, not the other way around (choosing between two signal sources to feed one TV). When dealing with a HDMI signal, it does not matter the source (blu ray, DVD, game console, etc.); HDMI is a common type of communication between AV devices. What you are looking for will be called an HDMI switcher or switch box; most likely you will have to do something (push a button on the box, or on a remote) to select which signal gets fed to your TV.

This unit sends the same HDMI input signal to 2 HDMI outputs. One could be a monitor and the other a projector for example.

This unit is consider a splitter, basically the unit has 1 input and two outputs; this means that whatever signal is plugged in to the 1 input, this signal would be display thru the two outputs at the same time. I believe what youy're looking for is an HDMI switcher

Since the blue ray player is also the sound device it will accept 3 hdmi inputs. It also has 1 hdmi output for your TV.

I have a new HDTV and it only has the optical output. We went from the cable box to the TV with HDMI, but I also want to connect to a home theater system. My receiver is an older one and does not have HDMI or optical. Can I just use the left- right audio outputs that are on the back of the cable box for the audio receiver as well as using the HDMI for the television??? Sal

No- This is to split the input not the output. If you want to watch two different shows on two different TV's you need a a dual receiver. If you want to watch the same thing as the main TV in a different room then you just need a plain signal splitter.

Yes...why not?...It has a Coaxial and Optical output and the HDMI for your TV or Components

Yes it can, however as I just learned, you cannot have another HDMI source playing at the same time.

I do not think this is what you are looking for. It won't help with input to the AV receiver. As for the AV output, this would split that signal into two identical signals, and I'm guessing you don't want to put the same signal into both 1 and 2 hdmi inputs on the TV.
