Don't know if this belongs here or the HT forum.

 

 

 

We are upgrading to HDMI cabling through the house. We have 4 TVs, a 4 way splitter, SKY box and HT. Where would the splitter go to enable HT through all 4 connections? 

Any help would be appreciated or pointing me in the right direction. If any more info is needed, let me know.

 

Please and thank you. Apologies in advance if I sound rude or blunt, it's just me 🤪

Where does the Home Theatre fit into the equation? Is one of the TVs connected to it or are there other inputs you want to distribute via the HT?

 

We have a four way splitter connected to our MySky. Due to differing distances to the various displays we have 2 running standard hdmi, 1 using hdmi over Ethernet (20m) and one using hdmi optical. The optical run is to carry a 4K signal from a receiver because the distance (10m) would cope with the 1080i signal from the MySky but not a 4K source like a Bluray.

 

In our setup, every time someone turns on a TV it causes a hdmi handshake which blanks the display briefly.
