    Tv in one room, receiver and xbox in another

    Welcome to the forum. You are in the correct place but you hijacked an old thread. Not a big deal. How are the Xbox, the soon to be connected system, his computer and DVD all connected? If it is via HDMI cables, it's easy...

    Tv in one room, receiver and xbox in another

    I have a Harmony 880 at each TV. Even though the TVs are different, I programmed them so the button layouts are the same. The source components are in the theater room and the IR signal from the living room goes over an IR relay system (Channel Plus but it works just like the Buffalo I linked...

    Splitter - 1 input / 2 or more outputs Switcher - 2 or more inputs / 1 output Matrix Switcher - 2 or more inputs / 2 or more outputs (Each output can connect to a different input. Each output can connect to the same input. A combination of connections.) I use a 4x2 Monoprice HDMI matrix...

    Would that be power two 5.1 speaker systems like you mentioned in the first post? You won't find one.

    Monoprice HDMI switch boxes are cheaper. I've been running a 4x2 HDMI Matrix box for a few years now and it works perfectly. For the remote, I suggest the Harmony RF to IR models or RF models with IR relays (since you are already running wire, why not a few more). The RF only models are a...
