Short answer: Old School works.
Longer answer.. For the MAIN TV (The one next to the sat receiver) You might want to add an HDMI cable from the Sat Receiver (IF it has HDMI out) to the TV, or if not then a set of RCA cables, either 3 or 5 depending on the TV's inputs and the Sat receivers out.. here is the logic tree
IF all they have in common is A/V (Red/Yellow/White color coded RCA (Phono) jacks labeld L-R and Video (Yellow is video)) then RCA 3-cable set, You can get a set of 3 bonded, and color coded, And may already have such a set in the box your sat receiver came in
If you have a set of jacks labeled with Pb Py and I forget what else, then five RCA bacles (A set of 3 and a set of 2) the 2 are audio L&R
IF you have a mini-DIN.. S-Video works too (But frankly the others are better)
And if both have HDMI, then HDMI cable
Except for S-Video, which frankly I do not recommend.... The farther down the list.. Get the bottom cable that both have in common.
But the old school will work for the remote TV
One other thing: SOME TV's (one of mine) can do "Time shifting" that is I can pause a program while I run to the radio room ,,,,re, you know what room you run to... and continue when I return
PROVIDED.. I have a USB thumb drive plugged ito it. Read your owner's manual, you can always plug in later.
