If you have a single cable box that can handle both TV channels and you want to watch one channel on one TV and another channel on another TV in different rooms in your house, there is a way to do it. The trick is to first figure out what channels are on each TV. Once you know that, you can use the TV channel search feature on your cable box to find the movie or TV show you want to watch.

Tips for using a single cable box in two different rooms
There are a few different ways to use a single cable box in two different rooms.
One option is to use a cable box as a DVR for both rooms. This way, you can watch your favorite shows in one room and record them in the other room, without having to use two different cable boxes.
