Two options if you have only one Satellite receiver active: 1.HDMI powered splitter/combiner (1 into 2). This means a new long HDMI cable to 2nd TV.
2. Wireless HDMI transmitter and receiver. Satellite receiver sends RF signal to 2nd TV via RF transmitter and is received at 2nd TV by a RF receiver (output is in HD). I use one at home and its works good.
In the MH, I use a powered splitter to mirror a receiver to the outdoor TV. The HDMI cable run was, in this case, very easy. This approach eliminates modulators and RCA cable non-HD resolution. Picture quality is great and in HD. Set up the sat rec'vr remote to RF and remote works outside too.
Maybe some day, mfr's will convert their AV cables and distribution boxes to HDMI.
