Run the cable into the DVD/VCR combo's cable-in jack. Run a cable from the cable-out jack on the combo to the cable-in jack on one TV. Run RCA(Red, White, & Yellow) cables from the combo to the back of the other TV. Turn on the TV with Cable, and enjoy. Turn on the TV with the RCA cables, tune it to the "Video" channel(usually called "video #" or "aux", or the channel before channel 2). Turn on the combo, and you should be able to watch everything as expected. Let me know if it won't let you keep the cable running through while a DVD is playing. This might be a problem. Hope this helped. The best solution is: With two TVs, hook one up to cable. Hook the other one up to the combo. Or better yet, buy a VCR and a DVD player separately. You could probably get both on eBay for under $50.

You can also use a splitter. It costs around $5 and is available at any Walmart. It works with coaxial connections.. you would need a short piece of double ended coaxial. Run it from the cable-out on the combo and into the single side of the splitter... there are two cable-out connections on the other side.... you can run it to two different tv's. It's the same thing they often use to run your cable line to different rooms or to split a cable tv and internet connection.
