“i need something that will allow me to watch two TV's from one cable box. One TV is inside - the other one is outside. If I use an HDMI splitter, won't both TV's show the same program? And what is an HDMI switch? Would that let me watch two diff programs?”

Yes, using a HDMI splitter will feed the same program to both TV’s. A HDMI switch is used when a TV or receiver doesn’t have enough HDMI inputs. It allows you to select one source from several (cable box, Blu-ray player, Roku, etc) and view it on one TV. The only way to view different programs on a second TV is to run coax and add a second cable box. If you don’t want to watch cable programming you could forget the coax and cable box and connect the second TV to a Blu-ray player, Roku, Chromecast, etc.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey Pete yes the splitter would show the same program on both TVs. A hdmi switch just allows you to choose which tv/monitor you want the signal to go to.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The HDMI splitter just splits a single signal so it shows the same thing on both displays. Not sure about the switch
