Using apple tv with 2 tv sets

i connected my apple tv to my denon amplifier (AVR 4308), which is connected to my first tv set in the living room. I can successfully play video and music from my itunes library and video/music are streamed to my home theater/sound systems through my amplifier by using apple tv.
Now, i want to be able to play the video and its related sound in my second tv set in another room simultaneously with my first tv set. Basically i tried to connect the output of the first tv (the video and its sound streamed through apple tv) to the second tv by using an audio/video cable which goes from the output of the first tv to the input of the second tv. The distance between the two tv's is 25 meters and i was not able to play the video/sound streamed by apple tv in both tv sets at the same time by using this audio/video cable. This audio/video cable was helpful to broadcast satellite tv output of the first tv in the second tv BUT it was not successful to broadcast the output created by the apple tv.
I spoke with some technicians and they suggested using a SPLITTER (?): basically, the suggestion was to use 1 SPLITTER (?) with 2 separate HDMI cables connected to the first and second TV's separately instead of trying to connect the output of the first TV to the input of the second TV.
I am not sure if this will work and need your opinion before i go ahead - i would like to remind that i also checked if i have an HDMI output socket in the first TV set (both TV sets are 2 years old Sony) in order to connect the output of the first TV set to the input of the second TV by using an HDMI connection but apparently, the first TV doesnt have any HDMI output socket.
Your thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated and apologies for the long e-mail.

I bought an hdmi splitter from gefen, the gefen toolbox 1:4 hdmi splitter. It works better than I expected. I have the apple tv connected to the splitter and from the splitter I have 1x12ft cable and 3x30ft cables. 3 of the tv's are in the same room and the audio is connected with optical cable into my reciever. From the reciever I have a Rca cable to a second reciever that is by the seperate tv. Combining all this with wireless streaming from ipod/iphone is really epic as my guests can play from there iphones.
The audio is spot with the video with this setup. There is no lag with the hdmi running through the splitter.

  • Can i use apple tv with my dish sat equipment and is it hard to connect

    can i use apple tv with my dish sat equipment.. how hard will it to connect?? what accesories to I need?? Will it find my wireless or do i need to enter wireless info??

    No, Apple TV connects directly to your TV. It's as simple as connecting via HDMI and then following the on scren instructions. It will find your networks but you will need to enter your password when setting it up.

  • Using Apple remote with macbook display closed

    Hi ,
    I have a macbook connected to LCD TV with HDMI connection .
    Is there a way to use Apple remote with display closed .
    examples of using apple remote with display closed would be
    (1) waking the macbook with apple remote
    (2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
    (3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote
    (4) accessing front row (using LCD TV as Display )
    while doing this should I connect the macbook to power source.
    please point me to any documentation / solutions available .
    I don't have any external keyboard or mouse connected to macbook . I just want to use Apple remote to do the above functions .
    Thanks

    Hi suresh,
    as mentioned here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
    and
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300562
    you must have to have a keyboard or mouse to trigger the macbook wake up from sleep when you close the lid.
    usb mouse is not that expensive and you can start with that.
    Good Luck

  • I am trying to use apple configurator with ipads. I have been successful with all our ipads but 1. It will not allow me to add apps. The error I get is that it is refreshed but with errors e

    I am trying to use apple configurator with ipads. I have been successful with preparing and supervising all ipads but one. When preparing it in configurator, I receive an error that it is refreshed but with an error. Under supervise, I am not able to add apps. I have erased all content to start over but this does not work either

    Are you trying to restore a backup, or just sync some apps? Do you have profiles installed on the device?
    Have you plugged the ipad into iTunes, and did a fresh install? I'm assuming the device went through the prepare setup properly. You many have to unsupervise it first, then plug it into iTunes to wipe it completely.
    I'd then do each step seperately. Prepare it, then install 1 app, if that works, try another app, then maybe a profile.

  • Can I use Apple TV with an SDTV?

    Can I use Apple TV with my Samsung SDTV?

    To add to the above. The device was designed to work with HDMI and there will be no guarantee with any adapter. Even if it were to work, you will have issues with resolution, aspect ratio, and be unable to play protected content (i.e. iTunes, Netflix). You would also need to purchase a DAC in order to have audio. Functionality could also cease at any time.

  • Can I use Apple tv with an Apple id?Thanks

    Can I use Apple tv with an Apple id?Thanks.

    Then you should be fine, mirroring has nothing to do with an Apple ID. As long as the Apple TV and iPad (2nd gen or later) are on the same network you can use the feature

    Can I use apple tv with Hughesnet?

    No...
    ...well yes but it would be an unpleasant experience.
    This is because of the slow speeds of Hughesnet and the latency of the satellite system.

    Does any know if BofA is still double charging apple pay users?? Is the problem fixed?  (iPhone 6 on 8.1)

    They have already addressed the issue and have eliminated any duplicate charges already.  In other words it is fine to use Apple Pay with BOA.
