    Talking Split HDMI signal dropping.

    Hi,

    I have split my Tiviar HDMI signal to feed 2 TVs. This works fine at first on both TVs but every so often just stops on TV furthest from box. By turning off TVs/box and turning back on again I can get it working again.

    Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Thanks.

    You can get powered hdmi splitters with 1 input and multiple outputs. They might help.

    Cheap Chinese crap (powered splitter)? You know the saying, cheap is not always the best option.

    Could I use a component to hdmi to the tv I rarely use, and just a direct hdmi to main TV?

    Could you link a quality powered splitter please?

    There's a splitter mention here...

    but it's very expensive. I use Neet switches (4 in, 1 out) without any problems.

    Component to one TV and HDMI to the other TV works well. You will need a 3 core component cable for the video and a 2 core cable for the audio.

    Could I use a Toslink/optical cable instead of the 2 core cable for the audio?
