That works as I do that as well. ;)

It won't work unless *all% the video to *every* display you want to use
with
it is routed through HV's composite connection, which will reduce quality
as
a general rule. Even then, it will only work when you are viewing a
composite video source.

TBH, IMHO it's not worth the hassle or the reduction in quality of running
every source over composite to achieve it.

Hope that helps even if it wasn't the answer you were hoping for.
