hdmi splitter will do it
however, you need a certain kind that can break the encryption (HDCP) not all HDMI splitters do this..
the cheaper splitters are less likely to do this and therefore won't split the connection from your cable box because of encryption
someone on here linked this one as one that will do it.. it will break the HDCP and you can split the hdmi to two tvs LINK
whichever one you buy make sure it has an HDCP stripper in it.. that's term i believe you need to verify before purchasing..

You're welcome

this one looks good too
Some of them allow you to only have one tv on if you like and still work, but I think others might make you have to have both on to work..
Keep in mind when you first hook it up it may not appear to work.. It will, but it's best to install everything first.. then power on your cable box.. after you have turned the splitter turned on.
Hope it all works out for you. How long of an HDMI cord are you going to run? It doesn't matter, just curious about your setup.
