I know there's a LOT of smart people around these parts and wanted some opinions.
I've just purchased my second HDTV (yeah!). It is a 27" for my bedroom where I currently have a coax distribution connection for my old SDTV that I share with my lovely 622. I am dissappointed I can't get any HD to this TV without getting another box. I like only scheduling one DVR as well. I've even contemplated running 75' of component cable!
I've decided that's not a great idea (cost and work required). So I would like to at least watch live HD from my OTA hooked to TV1. I think I have it mostly figured out. Please let me know if I am close or have no idea what I am talking about...
I figure I need to split the OTA signal before it hits my TV1 and combine that signal with the home distribution and then send it out to TV2. Is this correct? Will I be able to watch my OTAs and then tune to 69 or whatever my home distribution is setup at? Is this a conflict between the NTSC and ATSC tuning?
What kinds of OTA splitter and signal combiner do I need and where is the best place to get them?
OR... is there any other way to get TV1 HD output to this TV?
Thanks.
