If I know what you are asking, you do have to watch the same thing on the two TV's but, you can get an infared eye that will allow you to use a remote with either TV. Without the eye, you'll have to point the remote at the original box.

If you have Comcast or a similar service, you can use a switcher to have the low channels come in over basic cable and you will only need the seperate service for the high channels.
