With these capabilities, a DVR program could be viewed in one room, then continued in another room. Any other ideas on how to do this with one HD DVR receiver?
1) I don't think that's possible because the DirecTV HD DVRs only have one 1 HDMI port, but I have never tried it myself.
2) No, it's standard IR. Again, I don't think there's a way to do it, but I haven't experimented with this particular oddity.
