HDMI Y / breakout cable adapter that give 2 concurrent outputs

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=HDMI+breakout&_from=R40&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.XHDMI+Y+cable.TRS0&_nkw=HDMI+Y+cable&_sacat=0

I got one of the above "Y" cable adapter : the one that costs US$2.83 or US$3.90:
my plan was to connect this "Y" cable to the video source (from our TV video provider
so that it gives 2 HDMI outputs (video+audio) together at the same time:
one output goes to the TV while the other output goes to a recording device.

However, upon arrival, appears that it only works if one output is connected: if
both the TV & recording device are connected together, both outputs will not
work.

Anyone has tried if any of the cable/adapters in the eBay link above could give
2 HDMI outputs concurrently?  Pls provide the exact URL

Not getting from Newegg as shipping to Asia is an issue.
Is the above item in eBay likely to help?  It's a repeater

Yes, online purchase can't be verified on the spot but online prices gets so cheap
(in fact about 20-25%) of what I get in the local store but online has more options
too.  In fact I can't even find the Y-splitter adapter at our local store.

So next option is to base on online feedback (lacking in eBay) & enquire here in EE
