In short, this is one of those questions where if you have to ask the answer is no. It may be possible but unless you have a spare TV laying around that you don't mind breaking it's not a good idea to try. The best advice I have for any modder is to have multiples of whatever you're modifying on hand.

Why buy one, when you can buy two at twice the price.

And if you call us in the next 10 minutes we will give you three, that's right, three, for only triple the price!

2 is 1, 1 is none.
