re: Help with Surround Sound Setup

1) How far apart are the two TV's? Same wall? Different wall? A sketch would really help
2) If acceptably close, most TV's will have audio out, either with optical or RCA
3) if close enough ( ~5m, generally) you can use either toslink or RCA. If farther, you get RCA. Toslink can give you surround. Find a receiver with 2 inputs. RCA will give you stereo. I would need to see a picture for your room setup/speaker placement to really comment, but I can't imagine this scenario having a good setup for surround unless the TVs were side by side or top/bottom.
What's the source?
How much are you willing to spend?
There is something called a "matrix" switch that would allow you to split X inputs between Y outputs. You could also, if the TVs are close and doing something like 2 Roku/AppleTV/firetv or something just get an HDMI splitter for each device and feed the output back through toslink for surround. This, also, would only be a great option for things next to each other.
So, if you wouldn't mind answering the above and listing the actual sources you want to use, I could be more help (hopefully).
I'm not a pro.

Also, is there a way to make one tv mirror the other one without cable?
