For this option, you require to obtain an HDMI Extender. It functions by duplicating the firestick signal to multiple screens. The televisions need to sit within a proximity of 100 feet. To enable the Firestick signal transmission, the walls between the transmitting TV and receiving TV must be reasonably permeable.
Additionally, you must consider a stable HDMI Extender that overcomes interference from neighboring wireless networks, security cameras, and electronics. The HDMI type recommended features one that operates on a 5 GHz band.

It offers a split ranging from 2-4-6-8 and up to 16 screens, simultaneously enabling viewership of the same content.
Additionally, two Splitter models recommended to pair with your Firestick are
U9 UHD1X2SA and 9 1X2MN3D.
- The 9 1X2MN3D model supports the Firestick model for output to two screens. Its compatibility enables access to high definition (HD) resolution of 1080p. The 1080-pixel TVs provide a bandwidth to access more content compared to the 4K Ultra and are comparatively more reasonably prized.
