My problem and frustration: I set- up two TVs in two spare BRs. We're having visitors soon and want them to be able to watch TV. Although, we have cable extended from the wall in both rooms, the method of connecting directly to TV will not work. We...

If you connect the output of the cable box to one of the inputs, then connect the two remote TVs to the outputs, you will be able to view the cable system on the remote TVs. BUT, you will only get one channel at a time; both TVs will see the same channel; you will have to go to the cable box to change channels (unless you have the model with the remote input and get the receiver / transmitter).

I bought this for the same exact reason and it didn't work, I had an hdtv worth component out and this didn't work. Someone told me that I would need a powered one, dunno, sold my old tv and bought a new flat screen..problem solved. lol

I will contradict the others with: Go with the other one. Yes, the setup to this one is simple, but in the span of 45 days, I've lost 2 channels out of it. I simply dont care for items that fail just as it goes out of the warranty period. Go with the other one.

Thanks for the quick response. I am still getting 2 different answers. It sounds like if you hook it up before the Cable Box or TV that you can do both.

Wow, that's odd. I didn't have that problem so I never tried anything different but in your case I guess it's worth a shot. See how it turns out. Wouldn't do it alone though, I think I'd have a friend help, don't want that TV to end up in pieces on the floor if it doesn't work out right.........Good luck!

Mine goes to a 3 way splitter, two TV's were within 6 feet of splitter and were good, the third was 30 feet of coax away from splitterand no signal was getting to that TV so I put a pre amp between splitter and that 30 feet of coax and then that TV worked perfectly

I have the same issue. This was not made for a TV setup the way its advertised. You will need the separate receiver and speakers for optimal results.

I have mine with THREE (3) ports active--the last "open" port is covered in the 50 ohm pin (ALA RADIO SHACK), if pin not used you will lose signal tot he working ones. I get from 5-6 DB added, and this gets the signal to all the room TVS. DO NOT push the distance--MAX is 75 feet, then you need another power booster, or you just get 2-4 db increase. NOTE-- you do not get more TV signals--but you get more power (db = decibels) to the signal conning into the house. Call your TV cable service--if your cable outside is not in good shape--you lose lots of db ( I lost 9 db die to a tear). They put in a NEW CABLE--and WOW, more signal, less snow--added my booster--snow went away.

Just hook the cable to the back of your tv where your tv in cable goes. That's it. I had no luck receiving any stations. I think I'm too far away from any signal towers.

If I remember correctly you need to use the Ethernet port on the back of the TV and connect to your router directly. Not many people have this close to their TV though.... then sign up for amazon. The few movies I watched were decent. If it was wireless it would be easier.....

My other TV is upstairs in bedroom..no cable there, only downstairs with main 55" HSTV...How would I be able to get cable upstairs with this item, if at all. I also see that this does not mention Win 7 OS among the others that do, and why are OS necessary. I am confused. ..thanks

Both of my minis worked right out of the box. One thing to consider, though - and I'll confess this hadn't occurred to me until my first install - is that the audio is transmitted on the HDMI cable.... so if you don't have an HDMI port on your TV (mine didn't), then an HDMI-to-other-video adaptor isn't sufficient - you get picture but no sound. In my case, I had to pick up an HDMI-VGA converter with separate audio out, and run that audio into the TV audio in... then I was good. On my *next* install, TV with HDMI - plugged right in and worked immediately, no problems. Maybe you're in a similar situation... good luck!

mine couldn't....idk why ive seen people on here saying they had no problems but mine wouldn't work.. i could turn one tv on and it worked but if i tried to switch tvs i had to unplug them both and plug the one i wanted on in first and it would work...it was just easier to buy one with a power source. haven't had a problem since.

no. the WiFi is working perfect. I have 2 TVs. both of them connect with no issues.

So - if this TV were to be hooked up to cable - or satellite, wouldn't it need to have two inputs? I just received the TV in the mail today but haven't yet attempted to hook my security camera to it. I hope it will work.

I know if the connections are not set right, you will get that scenario. I know there are a number of TV inputs with this TV Set and I don't even use 3/4 of them. I guess I'm a dumb operator with a "smart" Tv. Read and re-read directions. I'm not real savvy on this stuff, but, if all else fails, contact LG for support.

Yes no problem. I have mine attached to my DVR and send a feed to the kitchen and the family room. I can have one or both tvs on with no issue and the second is attached to a fifty foot hdmi cable. Only problem I have is the hdmi box had an incredibly cheap power plug and is very sensitive to even the slightest movement.
