This depends on the type pf set top box. Some have more than one HDMI output. Others have a single HDMI output and perhaps a composite video output as well. If that is the case, connect two televisions to the outputs with cables that are long enough to reach.
If there is only one output, as is the case with most HD set top boxes, you will need a video splitter or distribution amplifier. Pick the correct type for the signals. Today, it's likely to be an HDMI splitter. Beware of bad descriptions. Online sites such as Ebay have hundreds of "HDMI splitters" that in fact are switches, not splitters. Make sure the description says "one input to two outputs"
If the distance between the set top box and the second television is too far, HDMI cables get very expensive at longer lengths. it may be worth obtaining an HDMI CAT5 extender. These modules run the signal on one or two CAT5 cables and then convert the signal back to an HDMI connector at the far end. The CAT5 cable is much thinner and flexible as well as being a lower cost than a long HDMI.
Finally, you will need to add a remote control extender to allow a remote control in the second room to control the set top box. There are remote control extenders available to do the job. If you are using CAT5 cable for the HDMI link, use another one for the remote control and select an infra red remote control extender over CAT5 as the extension.
It's a very simple addition but make sure you have all the parts. If you're buying on line, try a search on Ebay or other trading sites for a "multi room kit with HDMI" and you may find complete room extension kits. If you are approaching a dealer for the parts, make sure they offer a complete and inclusive pack of parts for you.
