So, between using a receiver (that will probably process your video signal) and a modern television (which will probably process your video signal again), there is a possibility for some lag.

This is why users might stick to simple amplifier boxes like this for splitting signals and/or route the signal directly to an old CRT television; you end up with less processing time.

Ultimately, it won't make THAT much of a difference, but I'm pretty picky about that sort of stuff.
This went way over my head..........I also need to know is there any type of cables to enable systems to be connected further away from the system than the short cables that most come with? that sounds confusing
