OK Guys, I am wanting to out put video from both my laptops HDMI Output and the VGA Output. I want the output to be the same on both. I have Windows display setup to Extend Desktop. The output to the VGA goes just fine, but the HDMI displays the desktop back ground. Please advise. Thanks.

You need to use one of the Video Outputs (VGA or HDMI) and a VGA/HDMI hardware spliter to feed more than 1 monitor.

Alternatively, you can send video to one of the available Video Outputs and then create a skin that offers a floated-resizable window with the Master VIdeo Output which would cover most of the screen.
If you are interested in this option, please post in the Skins Forum for further details and instructions.

OK after enough playing around I got it figured out. In the display settings I clicked on one the new secondary displays and selected Extend desktop on displays 2 and 3. It worked just fine.

Thanks for the input though.

But still Video will be output to just screen 2 or 3 ? Not both. Or no ?
