Right now I've got the DVR connected to the TV in the living room, and a second cable box with the downstairs TV. If I switch to Roku or something else like that, how do I watch on the second TV? Do I need a second Roku and net connection? -- Drew

I did hear about someone who just output the Roku signal onto the shared coax, but you'd still need a remote solution. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
