Q&A: Two HD signals to One TV and One Monitor?
Question by BustedDreams: Two HD signals to One TV and One Monitor?
Whats the most cost-efficient way to have different programs running on my HD TV and HD monitor simultaneously?
I currently have a Motorola HD DVR box hooked up to my TV. I just purchased a 24" monitor with plenty of inputs. I know I can call the the cable company and have them send out another HD box for another a month, but I don't plan on using it often enough to justify it.
Slingbox Solo or Pro? I've looked into it, but unless there's something I am missing it looks like I'd be watching same programming on both.
DVR box? It is dual tuner... any programming modification on the box that would let me put one tuner out to HDMI, other to component?

First on the DVR the dual tuner fuction is to alow you to record one chanel while you watch another....if yhou change that configuration you will lose that capability.
What you can do is take the cable going from the HD DVR to the tv and put a cable splitter there. that will give you two out puts to go to the HD TV and the HD monitor. You will have to watch the same programing on each but If yhou don't plan on using it very much that shouldn't be a problem.
feel free to send me a message if you have another question about this.
