PS3 on 2 TVs? - Blu-ray Forum

fatediesel · 02-26-2009, 04:48 PM

I have a PS3 in my living room, and I'm wondering if it is possible to also have it hooked up to the TV in my basement. I could run HDMI from the PS3 to the living room TV, and component to the basement TV. I could run the component through the floor to the basement TV, which would only be about 15 feet. Would the PS3 allow having component and HDMI both hooked up, and would I need to change the settings each time I switched the TV I was watching?

You need to change your settings everytime, even though you have both hooked up. What you need is a signal splitter.

First you need to figure out if you want component connection or HDMI. Component will give you 1080i but if both TVs have this, then that's the way you do it. HDMI will give you 1080p but if the basement TV doesn't have it, you're out of luck.

Then go to Monoprice or other electronics e-tailer and get yourself a powered video splitter (either component or HDMI).
