Hi,

I currently have one HDTV in my living room with the HD box and I am looking to buy a second HDTV for my room. I was wondering if I needed a second HB box to have HD on the second HDTV (in my room). Or if there is a way with cables to get the HD feed from the box in the living room?

Thanks

You will need to use an HDMI distribution amplifier to connect both TVs to the one cable box. HDMI carries audio and video so you will need 3 cables of appropriate length. If you want to use the cable remote you will need additional hardware to do this. If the distances are substantial it might not be worth the initial expense and hassle to save a small monthly charge.
