At my place of work we have three tvs set up. One smart tv and two regular hd tvs. We have our splitter set up with a DVD player set to show on all three tvs. Works great . Question is how do we split / stream the Netflix from the smart tv to the other hd tvs. Is that possible? Also do we have to have a Netflix hook up to each tv separately. Such a as a roku on each tv?

Usually no.

Primary problem is that the smart TV only has inputs, and not any outputs.

If it had an output it could certainly be sent to a splitter - but TVs don't have HDMI out, only in.

Lets say you were to use a laptop in stead of the smart TV to get your netflix signal. The laptop could go to a splitter and then that signal would be sent to the three TVs.

The only problem there is you must make sure your splitter(s) are HDCP compliant. They probably are if you're playing DVDs like that with success.
