Instead of starting my own topic I'll ask my similar question here.

We do a lot of Netflix streaming with our Xbox 360. I started thinking that it would be really great to have the capability of streaming Netflix to the bedroom TV, or maybe even the office as well. Right now there aren't any HDMI inputs on the small TVs in those rooms, but I'm planning on changing that soon.

Option #1 would involve 2 HDMI cable runs to the bedroom/office from the living room, connecting the Xbox to the splitter and the splitter to 2 HDMI wall ports and the AV receiver.

Option #2 involves buying a second Xbox 360 for $200 and running some CAT5 to the bedroom (which I plan to do either way).

I'm starting to think option #2 is actually more cost efficient, but if I went with the splitter:

1) Any TV connected to the splitter would need to be 1080P if the Xbox is set to 1080P, correct?

2) Is this even a worthwhile idea?
