Configuration question - please help.

Hi there,
I have been asked to put together a system for our local comprising of 1 60" TV and two 42" tvs.
I need it to be able to show the same sky channel on all three, or just two while the other one shows something different, or all three show something different!

Also, the audio would need to be piped to speakers above each tv....

I hope this is clear :-)

If anyone has any ideas of which switches or whatever I need please let me know.Also, if you know anywhere where I can get a cheap 60" tv (maybe an ex-display screen -thetype you see in airports) it would be helpful.

Thanks

Re: Configuration question - please help.

Any ideas on budget, this will dictate on how you do it? Remember that the pub will be paying 1200 to 1800 / month for Sky, HD is only an extra £30 / month so really worth having. Doing a HD system is going to be more expensive, but if they can make do with either Sky or terrestrial/freesat (box behind each TV if no internal tuners) on the displays then its relatively easy. Audio can be fed either straight from the Sky box or pulled from the TVs, in your case I think you will be better off getting your sound from the 3 TVs and zoning up the speakers accordingly.


Screens like in airports will generally be of little use, they are not normal TVs.

Dupe...
