Q&A: How to watch TV from a cable box/DVR on another TV?
Question by Manbearpig: How to watch TV from a cable box/DVR on another TV?
I'd like to get a device to be able to use the cable box and DVR on one TV in my house on another TV in my house that can't connect to cable without a box.
My cable company wants to charge me a month for a box to get basic channels on that TV, but I'd rather pay 0 to own a box to be able to use all the channels and DVR recordings I pay for already.
I've seen the Slingcatcher, but that runs 0 and you need a Slingbox which is another 0, but I'm not interested in using a Slingbox at all as I have no need to watch my TV and DVR on my computer or cell phone.
Does anyone know of any alternative products or methods for doing this?
Doctor and Greaser, that's not what I'm looking for at all.
I know how to split a coaxial cable and if I was interested in running visible cables lines up and down my house I would just do that.
I also don't want to run a coaxial cable out from my cable box / DVR because that requires using more wires and you can't change the channel on the secondary TV.
The question is geared toward Slingbox/Slingcatcher alternatives so I can wirelessly use the existing cable box / DVR on the secondary TV.

You can connect one TV with a cable box at a time. Further another TV can be connecgted with that TV to see the same program. Also more than one TV can be connected to watch the same program in all the TVs at the same time. To select channels freely separate cable box will be needed with each TV.
