How can I output one Xbox 360 to two TVs?

I want the one Xbox 360 signal to output to two TVs. I want the same exact screen, just playing on two different TVs. How would I do this?

You need a component splitter. Splitter here:

If you happen to have a decent AV Receiver, some of them feature a second Monitor Out (or second Zone). Splitters (especially unpowered ones) can degrade the video signal/quality, but the one linked above sounds fine. Just make sure they accept returns if you're not happy with the signal quality.

If your 360 has HDMI you could also use an HDMI splitter. A simple 1-to-2 model costs about $20 and there's no video quality degradation.

Good Lord! $70 for a splitter when you could pay $5? Unless you're going, like, 50 feet you ought not to need the line driver. Here's a component splitter adapter for $3.87 and HDMI splitter for $15 (passive). Or there's this bizarre thing that takes in HDMI and goes to HDMI and DVI for $12.

Or if you're outrageously cheap (I am), you could just buy some RCA leads from Radio Shack and wire them in parallel with your current component cable. That's all a component cable is, really - three RCA leads. Add three more and some random wire and WHAM - instant splitter cable! It might look like a mutant, but whatever - as long as it works, right?
