Hooking 2 TV' up to the same player....

[tron3]

Not asking how, I am mearly asking if anyone has done this. Why? To see the difference between watching blu-ray via an HDMI cable to your HD-TV vs seeing the same picture on a regular TV via a composite cable.

If I am not mistaken, many players should output to both tv's with no problem, right?

What is the purpose? Show your friends who do not have blu-ray. The HDMI picture will look , and the downgraded composite picture will look "See, THAT is what you get when you buy DVD."

I haven't hooked the same player up to two different tvs, however, I have had my Xbox 360 hooked up to my 40" Sony Bravia XBR2 high def while my friend had his Xbox 360 hooked up on the other side of the living room to my 32" Sony Wega standard def, playing the same game. Further, I have hooked my PS2 up to said 32" standard def and played the Casino Royale dvd while my PS3 was playing the blu-ray version on the 1080p 40".

To say that the difference was apparent would be a slight understatement. And the thing is, I have had several people comment about how great the picture on that 32" was, back before high defs really got moving in the market.

IF you have cable, what i do is flick back and forth between the HD channel and the SD channel.
SO if a program is in HD on channel 1010 and is als on SD on channel 10 you will see the difference.

I also have been able to hook up the cable box to the HD tv via HDMI and then run the composite out on the cable box to a regular Tv to get the same result.

I have done this. Flipping back and forth between HD and Digital 480p. You still see a difference between digital 480p and analog 480i.

But I'll go home tonight and hook up a portable. Should be interesting to see.
