A "2 room DVR" is what Dish Network does.
It's a DVR/satellite that has two (or three, if you get a 622 or 722 with an OTA tuner) tuners, and two outputs, one HD (in the case of the HD DVRs.) The non-HD signal is modulated into a basic NTSC channel and routed through the existing TV/cable cabling in your home to whatever TVs you want, and controlled by a "remote" that uses UHF instead of infrared to control the DVR.
Of course, this is AT&T, so this can't be the same thing. After all, it's not like AT&T's TV service is just a rebadged Dish Network service. No. It must be something entirely different.
OMG Darren! You didn't blame Toshiba's reluctance to embrace Blu-ray for AT&T not having a "whole house DVR"! You need to be more careful, what will Time Warner say at review time if you don't find more excuses to make illogical pro-Blu-ray rants? You're letting down the whole team!
