Do they make DTV Receivers w/two HDMI outputs?

Ihave to run a line down to my basement, somehow, but can I drill a hole in the floor, and drop another HDMI cable down for the TV down there?

No but you can get a switch.

You could use the HD component output for the 1st tv and HDMI for the 2nd tv.

You can get a box that will split a single HDMI signal into 2 and use rf remote to switch channels

Directv does not sell these splitters. A basic 1x2 HDMI splitter will cost at least $75 (the $10 cable splitters do not work). Online retailers like monoprice sell the basic 1x2 splitter.

I bought a 1 x 4 HDMI splitter on Ebay for $25 and it works great. It was advertised as a 1 x 2 HDMI splitter, then I receive it and open the box and it's a 1 X 4.

1X4 would be a switch I hope. You wouldn't want a signal split 4 ways. I did try a 1X2 splitter from monoprice and it worked but I sent it back and used a 1X2 switch. $99 vs $30.
