Judging by your "remote cable" idea, you mean also running tv out cable
through splitter to each tv? If that's the case you're not gonna be able to
see different shows on different tvs at the same time. Not such a good idea.

Better setup would be having some kind of frontend hooked up to each tv
connecting to the backend. Most people with multi-room setup do this.
Frontends can be anything from Hauppage's MVP to old Xbox to full blown
Linux box.
