Trying to have two baseball games playing in the living room but didn't want to have to buy a 30' coaxial cable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've done it, but you only get one channel.

So no splitter or anything would help that?

A splitter isn't going to make the cable box magically tune to 2 channels simultaneously.

Gotcha. I need the box for ESPNU but I guess I'll have to run the cable from the next room for ESPN2. Sucks but thanks for the help.

No laptop or streaming device to connect to TV2?

Stream it from Xbox, Apple TV, Amazon Fire or Roku?

Didn't even think about that. I can stream it I'm sure and connect hdmi to the tv. I even have chromecast so could do it from the iPad

I bought the iogear wireless transmitter but haven't been able to try it out. It allows you to plug it into one box and use that box on a different television in the house. I'm waiting for my outdoor TV to come in, I'm running it on my box in the bedroom and going to use the transmitter outside. Check it out, may be what you're looking for

Just split before the box and use standard def. It's horrible but beats the hell out of running cables everywhere
