Seriously though, I put a new TV in my home office and I don't have a cable box for it because, well because it's in the office and it's more for back ground noise, etc... and I don't want to have to pay for another cable box. So obviously I only get the basic cable channels on it and I would like to have more channels without paying for another box.

I'm just like the next guy, looking for something for free.

Is it a HDtv?
What channels are you looking for that you don't want to buy an extra box for?
If it's background noise does the channels matter?

Not gonna happen. The closest you'll come is splitting the cable from the box output and using a IR repeater to control the box from the other room. But as stated you'll have to watch the same thing on both TV's.

Yep, it's HD. Would like network hi-def channels and ESPN hi-def.
