Well I do know that I can have multiple receivers in my complex, because
when I initially installed with SBC Multimedia, I had scheduled for two
receivers from them, but my second TV went out so when the technician showed
up, I only accepted one. However, this second receiver was going to be used
in a different room. Does that make a difference, or does it look like I
can in fact accomplish this with either a splitter or a multiswitch?
Thanks
