DirecTV promised this capability several years back at CES, and has yet to deliver.
FIOS' implementation of it sucks-ass, and doesn't work for HD recordings.
The only thing consumer-grade that comes close is TIVO-HDs/S3s, with their Multi-Room Viewing, but you pay a premium for it since you have to have full-blown Tivos in all rooms you want to watch in.
I think the big stickler is DRM. The content owners don't want HD quality video moving around your network so easily so your teenager can capture it and put it on bittorent. Not like everything isn't already being put out there anyway?!@#
