Sharing content from one room to another

[FurtiveFreddy]

Room 1 has an LG TV we can watch Netflix, Amazon etc. on.

Room 2 has two Samsung TVs connected via an HDMI distribution box to a Humax Freeview STB.

Is there a way to get the content from the LG TV to the Samsung TVs?

I've looked at Smartshare, casting, mirroring etc. but seems to be all about sharing content from a mobile device.

Any ideas?

I assume you mean to share the amazon and netflix. Just get a device that will stream those like a fire stick, Android box....

Yes, I want to share the streaming content but it needs to play on both Samsungs simultaneously in Room 2 and preferably in sync with the LG in room 1.

I've not tried it, but would something like an HDMI splitter meet your needs?

I'm using an HDMI splitter in room 2 already to distribute the signal from the Humax to the two Samsungs.

If I got a Firestick and an HDMI A/B switch, I could switch between the Humax and Firestick with the splitter distributing either to the two TVs.

But is that going to work?

Even If it does, it still won't be in sync with the Netflix streaming in room 1. What's needed is a way to mirror or cast the LG to the Samsungs or to another box in room 2 with HDMI output, but I don't think this solution exists.

You'll not be able to get the content from the LG TV to the others, HDMI is one way communication only except for the Audio Return Channel.

Your best bet maybe to feed all three TV's, including the LG from something like a Roku box into the HDMI splitter an to all three TV's.

They may not all be exactly in sync, even in this setup as different TV's have different lag caused by image processing. The result would be a slight echo caused by sound delays.
