How To connect HD Multi Room TV, 1 source to 4 TVs using HDMI Splitters / Amplifiers

- Hi, this video shows you how to connect up a Virginmedia Set Top Box and a ROKU 2 XS media player (you can use Apple TV, Blu-Ray, DVD etc.) to 4 TVs using 2 HDMI splitters. The HDMI splitters have 1 input to 4 outputs so 4 TVs can simultaneously show the same display. This is ideal if you want the flexibility to watch your equipment in any room. The HDMI Splitters transmit full HD (1080p) so there is no loss of quality. The video also shows an IR (infrared) Kit to transmit the Virginmeida Rmeote control to all 4 TVs. The Roku 2XS uses Bluetooth which struggles to transmit outside the under stairs cupboard so I use the Android and Apple App for the Roku remote control which uses WiFi to allow you to control the Roku and it works really well. The down side of this install apart from the time and money spent on the installation is that you have to watch the same thing on all 4 TVs.
Many thanks Vince - Навчання та стиль
I know its more expensive but would the neater solution not be a HDMI matrix and running your HDMI over the cat6 as well
I really like the way you organise all your wires
Excellent video as usual, thanks for making it!
This was a good day for
Great video, really helpful - thanks
Thanks for your informative video.. unfortunately my setup box does not support hdmi.. is it possible to connect both tvs together?
Thank you so much. This is really helping me out big time. I wonder if it will diminish the picture quality for 4K ultra TVs
Hi, I haven't tested it on 4K as I haven't purchased a 4K TV yet but I think these splitters were rated at 1080p so I will probably have to change the splitters when I upgrade the TV. If you are buying from new the 4K splitters are now cheaper than when I bought these 1080p splitters. I have seen them for under £20.
Thanks Vince.
martysturgis Use Cat7 cable and the right device to run signal over Cat7 and HDMI cable to.
Ok absolutely could you briefly just tell me what I need to do
Excelent video , thanks for sharing all this, great work, just want to ask what is the name of the video that you've made about infrared receiver for tv that you've mention in this video , thanks again .
Can we see 2 different channels at a same time from 1 source by using PIP (Picture In Picture)?
ya I understood In this video u used hdmi splitter and wats the other box u used it brother
Doesn't the 1080i settop box signal quality get split as well? So if you add a TV then you lower the original signal strength and picture quality.
What about sending a panoramic view and cutting it into (for example 4 tvs) is that possible?
I have the same setup to send my Virgin Media box to both the lounge TV and the Kitchen TV next door. However, as the rooms are so close to each other, you can hear the audio from both TV's at the same time, and unfortunately there's a slight delay in the signal to the kitchen TV, creating an echo effect. I'm assuming this is due to the different cable lengths from the HDMI splitter (2m to lounge, 10m to Kitchen) the kitchen TV taking slightly longer to receive the signal.
This video helped a lot thanks!
what if you have one 32 inch tv, that is 720 P, and another set with 1080P? My guess the splitter will have to be set to the lowest common resolution.
Fred Zlotnick Size Of the screen makes no difference. If you’re input in via HDMI lead the TV will adjust the resolution itself once it’s set to auto screen size in settings. That’s providing the TVs aren’t old tube TVs from the 80/90s 4:3
Hi, i need a device to remotely control my dstv through RF out feed from another room where decoderis not been located. anyone?
Do they make a switch with a remote you can turn off the signal to any of the remotes?
Goid review I have a HDMI switch 3 ports and it works great very helpful
Def a great advice........I was wondering if it also works, with one main tv plugged into a reg analog tv box...and the second tv connected via the splitter and hdmi to the main tv?
Will the second tv receive the same cable tv as the main tv?
I have same setup. I use the Sky+ app on my phone for operating my Sky Q box. so sky won't make more money from me for multiscreen subs :)
Colm Malone bull shit
@@anitasmith9349 why bullshit?
hi I'm looking to send a hdmi to my back room my sky box is in the front room. the sky box only has one output so could i just get a splitter plug that into my sky box then just plug the 2 hdmi cables into the splitter ? thanks!
Imagine watching something inappropriate and forgetting it’s playing on every tv in the house😂😂😂😂
😆 😆 😆
Haha!

Hi. How do you connect the HDMI cable through the wall to the wall? Are there any tips that need attention?
Hello, Have you research connecting wirelessly? Example: I have a TV in the Living room connected to a cable box (Fiber optic box) and I want to transmit wirelessly to a Smart TV and a Smart digital projector. So 3 sources in all. I currently can transmit wirelessly to the smart TV using the IO GEar HD Transmitter kit, but trying to see how I can get to that projector.
Would love to hear if you had any ideas.
Does this work for getting virgin v6 box transmission to a TV that doesn't have a box? Please help 😊
Thanks a lot for the video, you give me some hope...
I'm trying I can't ,keep video on signal keeps interrupting again album. I'm about to quit y'all so I won't be bothering you anymore sorry about this guy's
Many Thanks Vince......Superb info and assistance...Well Done 5 * video.....Best wishes...IanB
I have 1 iptv box which is a paid subscription and i have another spare box as well. I need to know if i can watch 2 tvs simultaneously different channels. I mean different programs.
Can I watch different things on different tvs using this method. Example Netflix's on one thing, UA-cam on another and Hulu on another?
how am i able to set 2 tvs and one cable box, with the ability to change the channels for each tv to 2 completely different channels without paying an arm and a leg?
That is only done with another cable box.
wow! thats sum set up for tv,, how long did all this take you ?
Hi Vince, do you think it is possible to add HDMI source (PC, Android box, DVD player) to an exsisting Satellite network like those available in the hotel rooms, where each room has its own satellite receiver but all of them are connected to a single LNB/Dish source ? i've been thinking about this and i believe that a specific HDMI modulator may be required, also it may be possible to deploy HDMI splitter or HDMI over ethernet....what it is your idea for the best combination to allow each TV in a hotel room to receive a single seperate channel broadcasting a content from a controlled HDMI source ? thanks
Just in case you are still looking for an answer after 6 years. Satellite receivers are normally connected to the block on a dish. Typically each receiver has its own block on the satellite dish. The system you are describing is a communal system which transmits the satellite signal to multiple receivers.
The signal is NOT HDMI video.
With Sky TV for domestic use you can get up to 4 set top boxes from one satellite dish as each box has 2 inputs. Sky don't provide communal systems which are run by specialist installers.
I like how u explain no joke included
Hi , i have 2 iptv boxes. But only one subscription. Can i use the spare box for another tv by using one subscription?
Useful video. Does it work if you've got both 4k and 1080p TVs in the house? I heard that it will only work at the resolution of the lowest res TV.
Is this like a gameclip recorder
Power line adapters to tv watch on three screen with three adapters, does it have to be 1000mbps? Or is 500mbps ok?
I have set it up as you have said for 2 TVs . Picture is perfect but no audio. Probably something simple I’m not doing.
Can I connect laptop to hdmi splitter and connect to 4 smart TVs
Dear friend very well explained..very nice detailing
Can we watch different channels through HDMI to Coax splitter? ??
are you paying for your roku if so how much are you paying for the subscription or is it free
Thank's my friend :-) it's nice that you have explain in your video step by by > Not assuming people already know all these simple steps ? unfortunately my second tv is showing snow flacks ? lol I will have to take a look at your other video . Thanks from Canada
i like your accent
i love it!! sounds like geman accent
Felix Lopez its a british accent mate
Do you know if this will work without a set top box? I dont have a set top box. I just use streaming apps. Would I be able to use the splitter taking the HDMI from one TV to the splitter then an HDMI to the other TV or maybe just HDMI from one TV to the other?
but if i want every tv to be playing a different station with this set up. what can i do
this is good info this what we all need this is step by step this is a good instructor thank u
Vince, can you tell me the brand and model splitter/amplifier you are using? Many of the ones I've seen so far can only output one HDMI port at a time. thanks!
+Craig Crisp Hi, these ones are just generic Chinese versions without a brand. They are for sale on the UK eBay for approx. £25. If you are from the UK just type in '4 HDMI Splitter' and you will find them.
Cheers Vince
Hi Vince,
I'm trying to work out how it would be possible to watch different tv channels on different tv's around the house.
So my son can watch something in his bedroom, my daughter in hers and something different again in the sitting room.
I was planning on running freeview to say 3 tv's and sky satellite to 4 others.
Is it possible?
Many thanks
Hi, as far as I know on for example the freeview you can only watch whatever the freeview box is tuned into. So you would be able to watch SKY in one room and freeview in another but not different channels on the freeview in different rooms. The same freeview channel would be playing in each room.
Thanks Vince.
Hi Vince,
I have a virgin v6 box which is approx 4 years old, and have tried to split the signal to two tv's without success. (I bought two splitters from Amazon). Do you think that virgin could have installed software to prevent you running multiple tv's from one box?, or have I just bought the wrong type of splitter. Could you recommend a suitable splitter please !
many thanks, Kevin
I like your ideas thank you☺☺☺
How can we watch different channels in different rooms from one set top box/one source???
Hi, I don't think you can unless you have a separate set top box but normally (in the U.K) you have to pay for a second set top box per month.
My Mate VINCE
use a digital encoder modulator and a splitter.
Magic eye google it
it cannot be
Hello, I tried to mirror to a second tv. I am able to mirror and the pic was great BUT some of the channels will not show on either tv due to HDCP issues??? Any idea on how to resolve this?
bobby jenson buy splitter without HDCP from EBay
can you connect multiple roku remotes to one roku - one for each room? would each remote be able to have a differently programmed TV on/off and volume buttons?
To connect multiple roku Boxes to 1, you can use HDMI switch like 2in 1out, 3in1out or 5in1out. this way, you can change program from each control.
To connect 1 roku Boxes to muptiple TVs， you can use HDMI splitter. But you can't change programs on each remote. However, you can control from remote of roku box, the singal source.
To have both features splitter and switch, you need to have a matrix switch like, 2x4, 4x4, 8x8. tag me to know more
dude i done this with what splitters you got with sky tv and had the cable rung to the box so i could turn the sky box over from another room but i have moved over to virgin now so was wondering is there anything i could get to be able to turn it over from another room
Hi, did this work with your virgin box? I have virgin v6 TV box and struggeling to work out how to transmit to another tv!
Hi Vince..love your videos..does the splitter mean..everyone has to watch the same TV channels or can you watch your own channels in another room?
What I looking for is a remote that will allow you to control 4 directv boxes located in the same room channel and sound without all of them changing at the same time
I thought this would work I use this setup for the Xbox one race seat and normal games as i have different setups for different games.
hello sir , i am nagji and i recently buy a tv samsung k5300 which is fully hd and i dont have hd settop-box so is its picture quality is not good is there any device which will make my tvs picture quality.
You can buy dtv rf modular to setup all TV's
Brilliant video cheers for that I shall now go and get the stuff and fit it all up ,👍👍
is there a way to run wierless instead of lead cables? like can there be usb wireless connection transmitter pluged in to the back of each tv in the house instead of 20 feet cords allover the house going from room to room?
What if I want this setup to work reverse? For example. A DVD, a Game Console, etc all connecting into a Projector...
You would need a HDMI switch instead.
My Mate VINCE Thanks for the response.
is it possible to connect two televisions together without a cable box. i stream and sometimes use a fire stick but I also steam directly from the television apps as well is there any solution.
Hey Vince! If the source is 1080P and I have a couple old or smaller TVs that aren't (for example 720p), would I run into problems?
No, you won't run into any problems. As far as I know it will just downgrade the lower resolution TV to 720p and keep the other TVs 1080p.
Thanks a lot! And thanks for the video :)
can you help for i want to control my multiple TV's and i want every TV have a different Program play ?
Can't do that without buying more boxes
Does The Solution also Work For Bowling Lanes
Yepp.
Can I run 4tvs together, but have one to run them like the free view box from the tv
Is there a splitter that takes for say 2 inputs and 1 out
Hi, yes there is. If you look up a HDMI switch via Google you will see them or look at my recent video on the HDMI switch ua-cam.com/video/bHfCZ9qTGVY/v-deo.html to see how simple they are to use, it is a 5 input to one output which is useful if you TV only has one HDMI input.
Thanks Vince.
These are very helpful videos for people. If I were you though, I would not show that embarrassing mess of cables.
Whats the box called
my hdmi splitter the light is blinking only can show on 1 tv the other tv cannot. whats the problem? thank you in advance
Are there any wireless HDMI Splitters that anyone can recommend?
Where is your video on the ir part of this?
Hi there great information.
I wonder if you can advise on how our football club can utilise our sky HD box onto 2 other screens in our club via HDMI ?
We have the main screen using the HDMI but the other two TV'S are currently not used. We have the router next to the sky box and due to the structure of the buiding it is not feasable to run HDMI cables from a splitter box to the 2 other tv's. I wondered if there is any other way to link these two tv's without spending a fortune?
Is it possible to use HDMI extenders over cat 5/6 then via TPLink powerline adapters ?
IE in this order:
1, HDMI CABLE from Sky Box to HDMI Splitter.
2, HDMI CABLE from HDMI Splitter to HDMI extender (Sender).
3, Cat 6 cable from HDMI extender (Sender) to TPLink powerline adapter.
4, TP Link powerline adapter plugged in to power socket in main room to powerline adapter in power socket next to second tv.
5, Cat 6 cable from powerline adapter to HDMI extender (Receiver)
6, HDMI CABLE from HDMI extender (Receiver) to second tv.
The extender i was looking at was the E-SDS 1080P HDMI Extender With IR Converter Up to 196 Feet.
Is it possible to do this or am i over complicating things and it won't work because of the powerline adapters?
Or is there an altogether easier way by utilising the TPlink adapters or router?
Many thanks for any help you can give me?
Regards
Mike
Hi Mike, they're not going to work over the powerline adaptors. I tried it with similar (although cheaper) HDMI adaptors and it definitely doesn't work. It is quite expensive but look into HDMI over IP and although I haven't tried it I bet this will work over the powerline adaptors but the cheapest I have seen on eBay is over £100.
Thanks i will have a look at this option or the Edision HDMI Modulator but they are not cheap either.
Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards
Mike
can I watch different channels in each room?
No, it pushes through the same picture in each room.
Better off with hdmi extender with IR over cat6. That allows channel change from each room
Hi can you help? I am looking to get four TVs in one room. My partner loves NFL and wants to watch four different matches from Game Pass. How do I set this up?
This is so mean it be something extraordinary and watch separate channel on each tv.
I connect 2 tv with hdmi splitter box directv but I have no sound on any television. what is the problem?

Hi Vince I am unable to use the magic eye system on the new SkyQ box. I already have my tv's connected by HDMI and use the RF function on my old box to transmit commands to the sky box. All the extenders i have found have 1 transmitter and several emitters I need several transmitters and 1 emitter. can i cut the wires on the transmitters and connect them together and use just 1 emitter or can i run them through a cat6 splitter box. Your help would be appreciated.
can i use coax to hdmi?
Did you get this to work
I have sky and also tivusat (which is a box and dish for italian tv) If I connect the tivusat to another room and switch it on, then go watch it in the other room, would another person be able to watch the sky in the main room? I was hoping that when my mum is watching her stuff, my Italian dad can go and watch his stuff in the other room. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I love that cable rat nest, just beautiful.
can you watch 4 different tv shows
say I have two TVs... is there a way to watch two different channels from 1 setup box?
Wathsala Helen
Wathsala Helen yes if you have several modulators for each channel if of its freeview. For sky tv you would need individual set top boxes.
Nice octopus you have there ;)
can we watch different channels on different TV at same time?
Was going to ask a question, but seems in comments other people have but no replies. I don't understand why people won't answer questions.
does this mean that you can't watch different channels in different rooms at the same time?
+Reginald Smith Jr. Yes, once you go to the input/source on the chosen TV that has the HDMI lead in then you can only watch the same thing.
The fact that you have to watch the same thing on all 4 TVs is great for you, but, the reason most people have multiple set top boxes is because they have family members whom may want to watch something else.
Right ..they all have to watch the same channel:(
What if the second TV has a RG6 Connection
I'm trying to figure out how to connect 1 tv screen to my second tv. Is that something that can happen or does that even make sense?
My 2nd TV would be upstairs. Any idea how to do that
a really long hdmi lmfao idk maybe you can find one on amazon
nothing to laugh at, that's exactly what i have, a splitter from the source, 1.5 Mtr cable from the splitter to the downstairs TV and a big fuck off 20 mtr (may be 15 metre) HDMI cable up to the bedroom, works a treat and it was from Amazon - Neet cables
Thank you

I’m having trouble here and needing help. So we’ve set up multiple screens/tv at church to display the hymns and whatnot during a service. Display and everything is fine, but my problem is turning on all the screens one by one with the remote controller. So if I show up late to church, I’d have to walk all the way to the front and use the remote to turn on every single screen while everyone gives me the evils lol.
I’m wondering if anyone can help me find a way where I can just sit from the control room at the back and just have one switch to turn on all of the screens without the hassle of walking up to each screen, point the freaking remote at it and turn on? Any help is much appreciated.
