HDMI cables

In the same way that I used to extend the aerial to another tele using coax cable, can I do the same thing with HDMI cables for newer teles. I assume there is such a thing as an HDMI splitter (from ? Maplins ?)
thanks

    You can buy HDMI splitters for a few pounds, yes. But I would also question what you are trying to achieve, and whether it is worth doing/can be done an easier way

    People have reported running HDMI cables up to 50 feet with no issues, other than cost. Cheapest 50' cable is probably around twenty quid.

    But that's not going to extend the aerial nor allow return IR control.

    sorry. Having received the new TV now, I see that the normal aerial is needed and therefore would need to be extended if another TV added. I am a nit.

    Seems I have stopped receiving email notifications re posts. Wonder why (Did mark to be notified)
