Hey T4Rs,
Shagbark
We closed on our house last week. Took possession yesterday (granted the PO occupancy through yesterday) and took over our first load yesterday evening. I've hired movers to help/move the bulk of our items tomorrow.
Anyway, on to my question(s)...
We're reasonably pleased with DirecTV and have an obligation to them, so we're using their moving program to get a new install at the house (it doesn't appear to have had satellite TV previously). As the lot is heavily wooded with pretty tall trees, I'm not completely confident they'll get adequate signal and then we'd be release from our obligation and be stuck with Comcast Cable. [still no question eh]
Our current configuration is two receivers with the kid as primary user of the non-DVR unit in the living room and us having the DVR in the master bedroom. With DirecTV Whole Home system, other receivers are granted various permissions on the DVR, so Nathan can record onto and view from the master DVR without delete authority. As part of our move, we're getting a second DVR to replace the living room receiver. This will mean I don't have clean up Nathan's shows from our DVR and he'll be free to record whatever he wants without me having to demote his stuff in the list of priorities. [I promise, I will ask a question]
How would you hook up a third TV (or more) to view the programming from one or both of the DVR/receivers?
In the past I've fed the coax output from an older DVR back into the loop of the house and used a RF remote control to view programs from one DVR throughout the house. That doesn't seem to be such an easy solution now that everything is digital and thus not using coax (after the receiver).
How would you do it?
Thx,
Jon
