the only way you are going to get (cheaply) it is to use an RF adapter with a splitter then to 2 tvs. even then its going to look like crap

Simple, just go out to your local RadioShack and pick up an 'RCA Y-Splitter' and then you can easily split the composite video signal and output to 2 TVs.  happy.gif

Correct me if I'm wrong, but using an advanced A/V pack, you CANNOT use both composite video (standard red/yellow/white), and s-video to display the same image on two screens.
I correct you, because I think you are wrong. wink.gif

According to the schematic, Composite video and S-video use separate lines. It would be my guess that you can simply connect these video outputs at the same time. Never tested this, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

zep Man, it wont work.

The av output requires a jumper to determine which type of video out the xbox is putting out. So which ever way the cable or adapter is jumpered you will only get one type of output.
