Hi annaobc,

Your cable box in the living room should have an RF output that sends signals on channel 3 or 4. If this jack is currently in use on your living room TV, either split the RF output using a standard 2-way splitter, or move the living room TV to the AV jacks (yellow, red, and white) connections which will free up the RF jack.

Run an RF cable to the LCD TV in the other room and connect it to your set. Your cable box picture will appear on channel 3 or 4.

The problem with this setup is control. Without some kind of IR repeater device, you won't be able to control the cable box from the other room. Your local major electronics store may have a solution for you. Ask the sales clerk at Radio Shack for a wireless IR repeater system. If you find someone knowledgable, he/she will know what you're looking for. If not, you can buy this one from Amazon. Should do the trick: http://www.amazon.com/D940-Remote-Con...
