Will this work to connect 2 TV's to 1 Dish cable box? I bought a HDM1 Splitter and 50 foot HDM1 cable. But that doesn't work. Dish says I need another box and pay $12 more a month

First question, why would you want to split the signal from your box in that way? It would be better to run it direct from the box to the amp (i'm assuming its a receiver) to the tv so you are always using the speakers you paid for.Secondly, I have mine splitting my cable box (DISH) signal to my Xbox One and my Receiver (to take advantage of the Xbox one's "watch tv" functionality but still have the flexibility to use only the TV/receiver combo). I have had no problems with video or audio issues. This should do just what you need it to.

I tried to hook up four TV's and it did not work. I put the antenna in the attic and split to three TV's up stairs and one downstairs. Signal was too low. I don't think it worked with just two TV's connected. I don't think this would work with any antenna out there. To be able to have multiple TV's connected to one antenna, I'm thinking would require a separate amplifier.

I have Dish Network connectyed to 1 input & my cable TV system connected to the other. I get great reception on my TV. If one connects multiple TV sets to the output with splitters, the signal may very well be degraded.

Your HDMI cable may not send the information, use one with audio return and internet capabilities. If you have it hooked to a cable or satellite receiver they (nearly all Directv and some others) cannot send the required signal, it's not the splitter, rather it's the unit hooked to it. If your signal is coming from a DVD, Blue-ray etc it should work. Check to see if the receiver is showing PCM or something else as an input source signal. The receiver should be able to decode the signal from the source via HDMI as long as the signal is provided to it at the input. Just a side note, if you have a DVR or other device as a source run the splitter directly from this device to the splitter and then to other devices such as a second receiver or a TV. If you run it to the TV then to a receiver or other device you may run into a problem as many TV's do not send the required signal out (even if it says the TV does or does not address that issue). Good luck, I know the units should send the signal but, you can email J-Tech if you can't find the problem and they will help, or send you a replacement if it is defective. However, I have several friends who have purchased the J-Tech on my advice and ALL their minor problems dealt with issues other than the splitter. On one system I had to turn everything off and hook up the connections then power up the connected devices then the splitter; it was an ARC problem but, that seemed to cure the problem. Again, good luck.

Buy the bigger kit. I believe that allows more than one additional tv to be connected. I think it's a big price jump to though. How many tvs are you trying to connect to one source.

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.

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

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.

It depends on how strong your signal is. In my case I have a booster on my TV and run a cable for 100' feet for my other TV. With one booster. I have a some what of strong signal. It works but I decided put another booster and It work great. Try one you can always buy another.

David: I only used the cable to go from a splitter to another HDMI tv. I do know that the cable signal only runs in one direction. I ran 100' without knowing that tidbit and had to uninstall the cable and reverse the direction. Once I did that the signal is perfect.

No you can use a splitter for both Tv's but reception might be less. I would go to Youtube.com type in 'Coat Hanger Antenna' and save yourself 80 bucks . I did and I achieved 23 more channels that the Clearstream junk model.

THIS IS NOT A SPLITTER. a splitter takes one devies ie, cable box and splits it on 2 or more outputs. ie 1 hdmi IN and 2 hdmi OUT..... THIS IS A SWITCH. hence it switches. it has 3 hdmi IN and 1 hdmi OUT that you manually switch the sources

It might depend on the cable length that you want to buy. I bought 35' cables, which is stretching the limit of HDMI signal strength. If your splitter cuts the signal strength in half, then this cable might not work. If the splitter also boosts the signal, then it might work fine.
