Question:
Where Do I Get A Splitter w/ Both HDMI & Coax Ports?

I'm wanting to make it to where I can watch the same channel that's going in my bedroom, in my living room also. I know how to do it & its already mostly set up to go. I have DirecTv, so I need a "splitter" with 2 HDMI ports and one coax cable port. I can't seem to find exactly what I need online, so does anyone know somewhere I can go in person to get this or even to order it online?
Here's how its going to be set up:
Unplug Hdmi that's coming from my Directv box and plug the end that goes into my tv into one of the HDMI ports thatd be on the splitter, then take another short HDMI cord (which I already have) & plug it into the other HDMI port on the splitter and then into the tv again. Then, take a short coax cable and screw it into the splitter and the other end into the wall. Under my house, I've already used a "male" to connect both the cables coming from my living room and bedroom, so that it'll just send the tv in my bedroom straight into my livingroom.
So anyone know where to get this "splitter" or "box" that I need?
Thanks!

You need a splitter switch for this job.

Never tried this but I don't think you need a splitter with coax port. A regular 1x2 splitter like this should work http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Series-Powered-Splitter-support/dp/B005E2XM8G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386950122&sr=8-1&keywords=PRO+Series+Powered+HDMI+Splitter

1 HDMI cable from the receiver to the splitter then 2 HDMI cables from splitter to each TV. I'm assuming both TV's are HD which is why this setup will work to get HD. Coax is not HD

Most satellite boxes have multiple outputs on the back, including co-ax. You can plug in any combination and run the cables to different TVs.



You don't need a splitter. Furthermore, there is no such splitter that supports both HDMI and co-ax. The signals are just too different.

It sounds like you still have analog cable, a dying breed. If that's the case, then using a VCR should work. Otherwise, you should be able to get a set-top box from your cable provider and use the RCA (AV) inputs.
