A couple connection questions........ please

[Shark1959]

I'm running a CNX Nano2 converted to iLink and wondering if, what I've written below would work.

Would there be any issues if I were to use the Component out of the Nano2 receiver to feed one TV and at the same time use the TV/VCR output of the same receiver to feed a separate TV? So in effect I'd be feeding two TV's in different areas with the one receiver, displaying the same channel at the same time?

If this next idea would work, it would be even better and negate the above question. If I was to feed an existing powered coax splitter with the TV/VCR output of the Nano2, so that all TV's in the house that were once connected via cable TV, would now have TV again. I would still have my main TV where the receiver is connected via the component connection. I realize if I wanted to change channels, I'd have to go to where the receiver is to do so but, that's not a concern for what my objectives are at this time.

I just don't want to overload the receiver and blow something, if that's even a possibility, hence the questions. Thank you.

Cheers

No issues with the two output connections.

On the second "powered splitter" question, no issue that I know of, not knowing what your powered splitter consists of. What you are doing is the same thing that cable companies do, in effect. Amplifying the RF output signal at the low VHF and sending it to many TVs. You can even feed an antenna with amplified VHF channel and eliminate the wires, but there are FCC limits on the power out.

Thanks jvvh: I could post the info here on the splitter once home tonight if that helps. If having a powered splitter is an issue, I could always swap it out for a non powered one. The powered one just happens to be there from when I subscribed to cable.
If I were to use it unplugged it would that make a difference?

I would think a splitter that requires power, requires power. Not plugged in--no workie. I think you will need an amplifier for the coax line--the output of most boxes at ch 3/4 is very low and if you split it a few times it may not be strong enough to get to all TVs well depending on the length of coax and its losses (though at ch 3 or 4 the losses should be pretty small at any length).

Thanks for the reply jvvh I've included a picture of the splitter and the specs are visible. The runs are not that long to the other TV sets.
I know the powered splitter would need power to work :) I just meant I could use a non powered one if using a powered one was an issue.

I did run two TV's last night one from the TV/VCR coax output, as well as I connected the Component connection from the the Nano2 to my main TV and it worked flawlessly.

I'd like to use the Loop Out now from the Nano2 to feed the VS9000, which I believe can be accomplished, as long as the other unit is turned off first. Going to give it a try tonight.

Cheers :)
