Hello, Soon I am planning to switch from analog to digital TV and I wanted to ask if it is possible to connect two TV sets by ordering only one set-top box and connect them so that on these TVs you can independently watch different channels independently? I am on cable TV, The company has two...

Unfortunately, it cannot be done due to security reasons, if you could connect countless devices, there would be no multi-rooms and no one would take additional set-top boxes

Heh, how to put it delicately, my friend has gaps in theory ... No security measures have anything to do with it. It is technically not possible for one decoder to receive two different channels at the same time and to output the signal of these channels to its output (a?).

Technically, it can be done and it is practically done by decoders with a recorder with two independent inputs, where you can watch one program and record another, only the recorded one is not output separately. It's all about money, so the multi room was invented.

Some set-top boxes have two tuners, so you can record one program and watch another. But they don't allow you to watch two different programs at the same time.
