In summary

You can connect two TVs to a single set-top box without buying a second connection or paying for an extra subscription. The most common way to do this is with a splitter device, which takes the signal from your set-top box and sends it to both televisions.

The type of splitter you need depends on your TV inputs and the set-top box. Both TVs will usually display the same channel simultaneously.

 

  • An HDMI splitter lets two HDMI-compatible TVs share one set-top box.
  • An AV splitter can be used with older TVs that support composite connections.
  • Both TVs generally display the same content because only one set-top box is being used.
  • Ensure the splitter supports the required resolution for the best picture quality.
  • Use quality HDMI or AV cables to maintain stable audio and video performance.
  • Check splitter compatibility with your set-top box before installation.

 

You can also buy a new TV on Easy EMIs at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities, including Reliance Digital, Croma, and Vijay Sales.

How can you efficiently use one set-top box with multiple TVs?

Using one set-top box with multiple TVs is convenient when both screens display the same content. Following a few simple practices helps maintain stable picture quality and reliable performance.

  • First, consider the location of your set top box. Placing it in a central area helps minimise the length of cables or ensure the best wireless signal. If you are using a wireless transmitter, position the transmitter and receivers away from other electronic devices to avoid signal interference.
  • Secondly, keep both TVs updated with the latest firmware to ensure compatibility with the set top box’s software. Additionally, some set top boxes offer multi room support, allowing different channels to play on separate TVs. If your device lacks this feature, remember that using a splitter will limit both TVs to the same content.
  • For easy switching between channels or apps, consider using a touch screen TV for more interactive controls. A good remote control setup with programmable buttons can also make managing content across two TVs more convenient.

Finally, if you plan to use this setup regularly, invest in high quality HDMI cables or wireless transmitters to avoid connectivity issues. Testing the system periodically ensures a smooth entertainment experience without disruptions. With the right configuration, you can enjoy seamless streaming on multiple screens without needing extra subscriptions.

What equipment do I need to connect two TVs to one set top box?

To connect two TVs to one set top box, you will need an HDMI splitter or a coaxial cable splitter, depending on the type of connection. HDMI splitters allow for multiple HDMI outputs, while coaxial splitters can distribute the cable signal. Additionally, you may require extra HDMI or coaxial cables for the connections between the devices.

First, ensure both TVs and the set top box are powered off. If using an HDMI splitter, connect the splitter to the set top box's HDMI output. Then, attach the HDMI cables from the splitter to each TV. For coaxial splitters, connect the splitter to the set top box's coaxial output and run cables to each TV. Finally, power everything on.

When connecting two TVs to one set top box, be aware that both TVs will display the same content simultaneously. This may limit the viewing experience if users want to watch different channels. Additionally, signal quality may decrease with lower quality splitters or longer cable runs, potentially impacting video and audio quality.
