I have pulled off TiVo everywhere from on box, like Ben proposed for the ZeeVee box. On my main system, all sources are HDMI, and go through an HDMI 5x1 switch. The output of the switch goes to a 1x2 HDMI splitter. Output 1 of the splitter goes into my main TV. Output 2 goes to the bedroom TV with a 50' HDMI cable. The HDMI splitter can be daisy chained so more HDMI capable TVs could be included. Obviously IR distribution is added to send IR back to the main system for the HDMI switching and source components. So in the bedroom I can watch the TiVo, Blu-Ray and Comcast box that sit in the living room. I can see Ben rolling his eyes right now and saying "but that is way to complicated". It gets more complicated. The IR distrib. is done via a Channel Modulator setup I used to use as primary distrib. of TV signals. It send the IR back over coax. The channel mod is still in play and sends the TiVo and Comcast box analog outputs on a couple channels via coax for the other standard def TVs and for IR distrib. It is complicated. But it works for me. Also, all that HDMI is working without any handshake problems.....

"From on box" should be "From one box"
