I connect my MySky box to my set with a HDMI lead. To get a second output (non HD) it would appear I have the following options:

Video Out
S-Video Out
TV SCART

Composite
Component
RGB
S-Video

VCR SCART (Audio level fixed!)

Composite
Component
S-Video

I have cabling to suit any of these, but I have 2 SCART cables:

One (labelled Croma Terminated) that has a yellow S-Video type plug and 1 each Red and White Audio RCAs
The other is has a Black S-Video type plug, a Yellow Video RCA and 1 each Red and White Audio RCAs

So which of this will give me the best output?

s-Video if mysky outputs on that. Still, wont take you long to test esp as one of your cables has both options!!

common sense is not very common

I think you can get HD over component, for sports at least, but not movies. At least that's what I used to do when I had HDMI connected to my TV and component connected to my non-HDMI projector. Gave great picture for watching the rugby

If you care about keeping everything in HD, you can get an HDMI splitter like this one:

Which should work. Alternatively an HDFury and a component splitter would also let you run HD output to both TVs.

Or, if you are feeling wealthy, I notice in their flyer yesterday that Jaycar has a wireless HDMI sender/receiver for $475 (catalog AR1875). You could always find out whether buying two would let you beam the signal to both TVs.
