Sometimes I wish I could enjoy watching the same movie as the rest of my family in a different room of the house. You can do this using the Amazon Firestick and connecting it to mirror to multiple TVs. All you need is the right hardware.
In this guide, I will show you two solutions for connecting a Firestick with multiple TVs so each screen will mirror-one another and play the same audio.
Option 1 – Wired HDMI Connection
If you like to use the Firestick with two screens, you can purchase an HDMI splitter. An HDMI splitter will split the audio and video signals and send them to two different TVs.
- The U9 1X2MN3D model will support up to 1080P.
- The U9 UHD1X2SA model will support up to [email protected] This one would be the choice for Firestick 4K and other 4K models.
Simply connect the Firestick to the splitter using an HDMI cable, then connect two other HDMI cables between the other side of the splitter and two TVs.
This method is the most reliable way to mirror two TVs from the Firestick. There is of course the issue of long HDMI cables running through your home.
HDMI cables are commonly available with a length of up to 200 feet.
Splitters are available with more than just two ports for splitting the connection if needed. You can purchase splitters for 2, 4, 6, 8, and even 16 screens.
Option 2 – Wireless Connection
A wireless solution is available for using a Firestick with multiple TVs. All you need is an HDMI extender. An HDMI extender will duplicate the signal from one TV and Firestick to another TV screen.
This is a viable solution if both TVs are within a distance of 100 feet, and there are no thick walls between the transmitter and receiver.
For best results, I recommend a wireless HDMI extender model that operates on the 5Ghz band. This will avoid the pitfalls of interference from other electronics like baby monitors, cameras, and wireless networks.
I hope this guide has shown you a Fire TV with multiple TVs solution that works for you.
