OP - is this an active or passive splitter?
HDMI can get persnickety when you start playing with splitters, especially passive splitters. Often there is not enough level from the source and through the splitter to drive two destinations. That plus screwing up the HDCP decoders can cause all sorts of problems. If you are not running a passive splitter, get one.
Additionally you may experience issues with the HDCP decoder that will shut video off of the source (sat Rx) if when it calls down the HDMI cable to see what's on the other end, it gets a response from both TV's. When that happens to me it's because I power up the coach and both TV's are on. Always power up things with one TV, not two to avoid problems. And yes, this shutdown will still pass audio
