Re: liking the idea...
Isn't that kind of how the Scientific Atlanta 8300HD Multi-Room box (»scientificatlanta.com/products/c···HDMR.htm) works? From what I understand, the Multi-room box is the DVR 'server' in a sense, then you have non-DVR boxes watch shows from the 'server' unit. |

| now that I read what I read, I sound like an idiot.
Never knew this technology existed until now.
BUT to make IP based remote connections, wouldnt the server also need internet capability? Either via Ethernet/home router /cable modem setup or by making the "server" function as the modem as well? And from there have ethernet hookups on the "server" for client computer connections.... |

That's just what I was thinking of. I'd love to be able to watch a DVR-d episode of The Colbert Report on one TV while my wife watches a DVR-d Dancing With the Stars on another. I'll bet that whenever Time Warner gets around to it, they'll make Multi-Room DVRs an additional fee. |
