If the televisions aren't too far apart you can split the signal coming out of the Roku and run it to two televisions but they would be showing the same thing. I have a friend that has an older model that has both HDMI and analog outputs, both of which are apparently hot. He has the HDMI output going to the television in the living room and ran a long analog cable to a television in the kitchen. If you are using a newer Roku with HDMI output only you could try an HDMI splitter but I'm not sure how well those work. I'm don't know how you could do it without running a physical cable to both televisions.

Roku has only one HDMI plug. So it can only connect one HDMI cable to TV. I suggested you connect one TV to roku and another to XBOX :-P

Roku can be easily moved from one TV to another. I do not think you can use one Roku on 2 TVs simultaneously.

Roku and DVD player are (2) devices you are switching between (content)?Output (1) is going to your TV?

The first two answers are correct: you need a video (yellow) and audio (red/black) output to use for transmitting the signal and the 2nd TV needs to have those inputs. If you don't have that, here are a couple of cheap alternatives: for the transmitting (1st) TV, you can add a cheap VCR that has those signals. For the receiving (2nd) TV, you can add a cheap RCA to Coax converter box if that TV doesn't have RCA inputs. Those can be purchased on-line or at Radio Shack.

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

No, this is the oposite. One input to have two tv's connected. You need two inputs one output.

Hi,There should be no problem. Once you pair the remote to one Roku, (lets call it Roku A) Roku B will NOT see that remote. Follow the pairing instructions, there should be no problem. Good Luck.

I have a Roku too, and you won't need it as the TiVo has the same features. I use my Roku on a different tv since I have it.

No, this device is for multiple tvs. What you need is a HDMI switch, not splitter.

You would have to buy a stick for each TV. And the stick works with only a few types of TVs. Buy box-type of Roku instead. You can stream Netflix into your Roku! It's wonderful! The Roku has its own remote. We LOVE it! And, it's easy to set up. I did both of my TVs myself.

You should not need this device. Just run an HDMI cable from roku to TV. HDMI carries both video and audio.

Yes is should work out fine.... I had my Roku hooked up to HDMI 1 then I had my xbox hooked up on HDMI 2 ( also used as my DVD player ) and then just had the normal antenna hooked up for free TV over the air via coax and I run everything from my optical out to the soundbar, so no matter what input your on the optical should play all... Hope this helps.

The Roku needs to be connected directly to your TV. If you have only one HDMI input on your TV, you can use a splitter.

Yes you can, but ROKU has access to many more streaming channels that the TV doesn't.

Thanks Jim,So I wouldn't need to purchase any extra cables to set it up? The lass expensive Roku box is fine too?

Yes, according to online research. I do not have Roku attached to that Sony TV, but am using it successfully with another Sony TV.

i have 6 tv's, i will need a unit for each. "Question" do I have to pay extra for more than one unit?

yes...the next one down can use a HDMI cable at 720...about 95% of what's on Roku is 720 or much less.
