I hope you can help. This scenario is in a retail store. There is no cable or satellite TV. There are 10 TV's that need to be hooked up to a DVD player and all will be playing the same movie at the same time. What devices do we need to make this happen? What is the maximum number of TV's we can run through one DVD player before the picture quality is affected?
Thank you for any help!

Search the web for: Audio Video Distribution Amplifier
They can be daisy chained together - one set of outputs to the input of the next one.
The signal is amplified so the number of TVs you can connect is unlimited.

E.g.
Lot of 5 - RCA Audio Video Distribution Amplifier $70
4 outputs - isn't clear if price is for each or all 5

If your goal is to sell TVs, then you should buy an amplified component video distributor, rather than a composite or S-Video unit. Composite and S-Video look horrible on large LCD/plasma TVs. You should have no problem running ten sets through an amplified distributor.

The HTPC:
Pentium M oc'ed to 2.82GHz, 667FSB, 2MB L2
3GB of DDR-800 @ 667MHz
GeForce 9600GT
Blu-Ray
Vista
Modified PowerMac G4 'Quicksilver' case
HDMI to homebuilt 1080p projector
