Hooking up two HD tv's??

[taylor76]

Please help me...im so frustrated!! Can someone please tell me what im doing wrong....I have to HD tv's that I want to be connected to my Cablevision box...I have them two feet apart and want them to both play the same stations. Ive got a picture on both tv's but one is fuzzy and B&W. Anyone hear of this before. Thanks.

How do you have each of them connected?

component video cables..that should work right?
Although I just found another post that mentioned hdmi cable for one and video cables for the other...this way they both have sound...does that sound right?

OK you are using component cables, BUT how do you have each TV connected to the cable box? Post the details.

Sounds like you may have a bad cable or a bad connection. Try disconnecting and connecting them again. Also try switching the connections: see if the problem will repeat on the other TV set.
If you have HDMI - that might be a better way to go.

sounds like you have one of the componets backwards. like one of the colors is not matched up.

How are you using one set of component outputs to feed two sets of component inputs? Are you using a distribution piece for it? Or do you have two outputs on the box?

Because I certainly hope you do not have three Y-adapters.
