Yes, to use hdmi for both you would need a splitter. If you use the other connections you could connect 3 others, vcr scart, tv scart and rca phono connections. Connect an external modulator and connect it to a rf distribution system then you could feed lot's more.

A long RGB scart cable will do the job from the TV scart on the HDR to the remote TV if you can get a scart plug through the wall. (this will give you the best picture).

A wireless video sender (there are two types 2.4 GHz and 5.8GHz) will do the job without wires. If you have other wireless kit the latter is likely to work better. This will also give you remote control of the hdr.

One of these for the remote TV

plus this

Connect to the Red/White/Yellow RCA phono outputs on the hdr

Will give roughly the same quality as the wireless sender.
