Connect to 2 TVs with 1 box

I have an HD TV connected by HDMI to my HD DVR. I'm now trying to connect an additional TV to the same receiver. The 2nd TV is not HD, and is about 100 feet away from the receiver. It's going to be a rarely used TV, so I don't mind if it's showing the same channel on both. My receiver doesn't have an RF out. How do I connect the 2nd TV???

hi, all the ports on the back of the STB are on simultaneously. If your STB doesn't have an RF out, then you can use RCA Cables to the other TV, or you can go to the store and buy an RF Converter

something like this

Guys, in lieu of renting another box(which I eventually did a few months ago) I set up the following;

7216DVR hdmi to Pioneer Elite VSX-03TXH > works perfectly. No problems at all, 5.1 Dolby EX etc... Excellent!!

I took the Component Video outs (Y,Pb,Pr) and the optical audio out of the box above and wired into

a Gefen Component+digital Audio to HDMI convertor www(dot)gefen(dot)com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=4457

and ran that feed into my ktichen Samsung A650 19" TV.

PQ was very good, as well as the audio, however after a few minutes the A/V Lip Sync was drifting off,

to a point where it was unwatchable.

So, hence my question, is this a box protection condition due to the HDMI being "in use" or a box error etc..

Since I already "scrapped the project" so to speak, I'm just very curious if they keep the digital audio outs

locked/synced to analog video while the HDMI is being used...

Thanks again for the info,

Bill
