I have one cable box that has one HDMI port but i have two tv's. I take the plug in and out to use for two TV. Will this unit work? degraded signal?

Yes that will work. I now have my signal split 4 ways near the cable box and then 2 ways later in the house and the do not see degradation in the signal. I have both the 2-port and 4-port version of this product. I can watch 4 TVs all with the same picture. There may be slight delay in showing the picture as the HDMI synchronizes but once complete it works flawlessly.

A LOT of others have had great success with this unit as far as signal and resolution. 1080p is realistic if your TV supports it. Just to be sure, make sure you understand this will mirror your TV's like Bud Trembley said, this will NOT do the same thing as having another cable box. This scenario is good for, say, a bedroom/bathroom combo setup or 2 TV's you will not be watching simultaneously, or if you like having the football game on in every room.

The signal is fine, but the second tv will show the same thing that the first tv is showing. If that is not a problem you will be ok.

I have a Dishnet box with only one HDMI port. I use it with a link so O can get an HD picture on my second tv. It works great, no delay, no degraded signal. I recommend it.

The device in the HDMI out port would send the same signal to two devices so it should work with it!

I use this unit to split my cable box HDMI output which them feeds my Sony Receiver and two other Devices. I have found the splitter only works if all the other devices are on. If any one of them is turned off, the splitter won't pass the sound portion of the HDMI signal. I don't think this anything to do with the make of the components.

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

Yes...We have ours hooked up to 2 tvs. We have to buy a converter box for one tv because it was not HD.

I think it will only handle one in and two out. Like your DTV box to two tV's

The answer to your question is no, but if you change to game on output 1 and tv on output 2, I think it will do it. I wanted to play music on one and watch tv on the other as in sports and It will not do it. It is not independent for the 2 hdmi outs, they are linked sort of.

Should work fine. It is the same signal going thru splitter to both TV's. This Splitter has worked fine for me with TV's in Living Room and Bedroom. Can have both on or just one. Picture quality no different than without splitter.

Yes, Monica. I'm playing two TV's out of my cable TV box with this splitter. Two things to note: (1) The splitter requires AC power: (2) If the AC fails, the splitter must be reset by unplugging and then plugging back in the AC power unit. I am very satisfied with this splitter's performance.

This device is meant to share 1 HDMI signal onto 2 screens. (However, it doesn't do it very well. I recommend you get the powered version like this one: Etekcity 1x2 HDMI Splitter / 2 Port Audio Video Amplifier HDCP Ver 1.3 Support 3D 1080P PS3 Xbox DVD Blu-ray )

This 2X4 box will "duplicate one HDMI signal so it can be transmitted to two separate outputs. If you want to have 4 different channels on four different TVs you need 4 cable boxes. However, you could have 2 on the same channels on two TVs with the 2X4 box. If you bought a second 2X4 box you could have two of the same channels on the other two TVs. Requirement: (2) 2X4 boxes (2) cable boxes

Yes, I have two TV's hooked up to my antenna and they both work great. I am not a TV or antenna professional, but my understanding is that you could hook up as many TV's to the antenna as you want. The only down side is that you will lose some signal in the coaxial splitter needed to split the signal to go to multiple TV's, and the larger the splitter (more coaxial outlets), the more signal loss there will be. So, get a splitter with the same number of outlets as the number of TV's you have. Hope this helps.

you might need an rca Y adapter for both channels if you want to get best usage ... check if you are plugged into the audio output of the TV or the audio output of the cable box would be better

I believe so, if you have multiple receivers set to the same xmtr definitions. I have multiple TVs with one cable box.

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 believe it should work, I have not tried it myself since I mainly use it to have my dish and ps4 connected in one HDMI port and be able to switch easily by just turning on the PS4 and it will switch on its own without me having to go to the back of my HDTV and changing the HDMI cables. So I guess if you connect it to your cable box and have two HDMI cables to two different tv's you should be able to switch between which tv you want to view it from.

It's not used with a cable-box, but with a cable splitter (where the main signal coming into the house or apartment is split to service multiple TVs or cable boxes). The instruction diagram that comes with the unit is fairly easy to understand, but you can go to PCTStore.com, search for PCT MPI1G and get some additional information.
