HDMI

i have 1 HD reciever and 4 HD tvs,How many times can signal be split with splitters, or is there a 1-4 splitter
 
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.
 
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.
 
Mono price has 4way for less

*AND* if you check out the reviews ... one of them mentions using it with their Dish 922!
For only $86.19 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 1X4 PRO Series Powered HDMI Splitter with 3D support | HDMI Powered & Passive 1 X 4 Splitters

 
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.
