I am pretty sure this has been asked before, I did a quick search and didn't find anything... My cap is almost up, so cannot do too much searching.

We are having an HD PVR installed today, changing the old LNB and all that. We have two HD tvs and would like to watch hd content on both of them... is this possible? The one tv is easy, that is the one nxt to the pvr... the other tv is in another bedroom.
Is there some sort of converter to convert the RF out signal from the pvr to an hdmi signal for the other tv? We don't want to go dual view (holiday apartment, so no need for that).
 
1. Get an HDMI splitter

2a. Get a long HDMI cable to go to the other TV

or

2b. Run HDMI over cat5 (network cable) with a converter
 
PS: Both TV's will be watching the same channel unless you buy two decoders and link them with ExtraView
 
I would get another standard pvr.Connnect them with extra view.Then i can watch two
regular channals and 1 HD channal.Its not like everything in DSTV is HD yet.So you could have also record 3 channals at the same time.1 Regular and 2 that can record HD as well.Useing a Splitter you can have 3 TVs and each Tv would be able to watch a any of the 3 channals and you just change the frequecy on the remote to the desired channal.
 
Space Television has a HDMi over CAT5/6 converter, that has a HDMi loop through for the near TV and CAT5/6 out for the far TV. So it's basically a splitter and extender in one.
