This should be in the DirecTV forum not the sports forum.

When I visit my local K-Mart they supply HD signal to all their TVs on display using powered 8-1 HDMI splitters. Given the number of TVs I would guess that they have the splitters daisy chained.

Buying Long HDMI cables can be very expensive, keep that in mind if your going the HDMI Splitter route.

A google search shows 1x4 hdmi splitters are readily available.
If you live in an area of lighting strikes and power surges they may not be a good choice. I've had 2 fail at our cabin. The second failure the unit's power supply was connected to a battery backup but, at the time, the tv wasn't. During thunderstorms we have short duration of 2 & 3 second power outages. The tv would go off and on until I unplugged it. It's now on a battery backup too. This may have been the reason for the second failure. In any case I don't think the units are very robost in handling anamolies in power flucuations.
I abandon the hdmi splitter and now have the 2nd set connected via the component cables.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Good product, wanted to give some tips[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT] Pros: First of all, this works well. Here is my setup: Dish VIP 922 - splitter splitter - HP monitor (in kitchen connected w/ 75' monoprice HDMI cable) splitter - Samsung LCD TV (in bedroom w/50' monoprice HDMI cable) splitter - Yamaha 7.2 receiver As only my wife and I watch TV, it didn't make too much sense to spend the money on separate dish receivers. Plus this makes it easy to leave the TV's on and go room to room (while doing chores) and still be able to watch DVR content seamlessly.

Keep in mind that HDMI splitters don't always work. The televisions may not detect the signal if it's split. You may need to use an HDMI switch.

If you want to do the Mail order thing, personally, when I'm working on something, I want to pick it up and have it done the same day.

You won't find them priced like that in your local stores.

Example here, they vary in price from $ 17 to probably over a $ 100 for a 10 ft, depending on brand and where.

Now if you have time to do it a few days later, fine, thats a good way to go.
