So here is the deal. I just got a Vulkano placeshifter. Its like a sling box. I want to connect my tv in my bedroom but if I switch to dish and use the clients they dont have both component and hdmi out like my current cable box that I have (uverse). So, Here is what I am thinking.
Id like to connect the client to both using this setup.
Satellite client to HDMI splitter 1 x 2 (splitting single HDMI into 2).
HDMI cable 1 will go from bay 1 on splitter to TV for best quality, keeping it totally digital (I think). - HDMI 1 on TV.
HDMI cable 2 will go from bay 2 on the splitter to a HDMI to component converter, then connected to my Vulkano Lava. From there id connect the HDMI out on the Vulkano to the tv via HDMI - HDMI 2 on TV.
Ill never really watch tv though HDMI 2 via the Vulkano, but for setup or menu stuff I may switch to HDMI 2 on the tv to reconfigure or something.
So, its kinda weird but will save me 6-7 a month to get an extra thin client just for the Vulkano.
To recap - HDMI out to Splitter. Splitter bay 1 to TV. Splitter Bay 2 to component/HDMI converter to Vulkano.
Will this work?
