How to Share a TV Tuner Card
Television systems have a single tuner that allows the TV to view programming from just about any input source, including cable and satellite receivers. If you only have one satellite/cable receiver and want to view the content on two different televisions, you can share the current TV tuner card on the television with a second TV, all while only using a single set of audio/video cables.

Typically, this involves inserting a set of component video cables into the "Component Video" out ports on the receiver, then connecting the opposite ends of the cables into the "Component In" ports on the TV. Attach a set of RCA audio cables into the "Audio Out" ports on the receiver, then attach these into the "Audio In" ports on the TV.
