Yes, use component cables to one tv and hdmi to the other.

Yes.  The H24 has two sets of HiDef video outputs .... HDMI and Component Video.  How far away is the second HDTV?

Thanks Guys, I thought without HDMI to both sets it would not be HD?  So it will be HD with the blue,green, red component, I get it.

 

The 2nd tv is 20 feet away. Can I purchase a 20 ft cable? might be costly.

Yes, Component Video is also HiDef.  You can buy great quality Component Video cables at http://www.monoprice.com.  A 20 ft Component Video cable is no problem.  You'll also need to include red/white RCA audio with that, too.  Or, run a 20 ft HDMI cable to the second TV and use Component Video at the local TV.
