<pre wrap=""><!---->I wouldn't use simple RCA splitters on video, it would be better to use
a distribution amp. Video is a bit like RF in that the cables need to be
impedance matched and terminated properly. TVs and other devices usually
have terminators inside.
If you use a passive cable splitter, then the output device sees two
terminators in parallel, which puts more load on it.
It isn't going to hurt anything, you'll just get poorer quality video.

I use one of these:<br>

Works OK.<br>
<br>
If you are going to use a passive split, keep the leads as short as
possible.<br>
