Default EHD sharing sounds easy to me.

We have a ViP622 DVR, the Den (me) is HD via HDMI, the Living Room (wife) is SD via RG6. We just bought my wife a new 40" Samsung 1080p tv for the Living Room.
The PQ in the Living Room sucks, my wife asked "Why did we spend so much money for a worse picture than we had on the 27" JVC analog?" Unfortunately I have to agree with her.
1. If I use a 50' composite (RWY) from the TV2 receiver output will the PQ be much better than RG6 or just marginally better?

Theoretically adding another HD receiver for the living room sounds like a simple solution, however, 95% of what we each watch is recorded and moved to the EHD. Sharing the programming would mean somebody would be moving the EHD from one receiver to the other, from first to second floor and back, to download the recordings to the other internal hard drive. Going up and down stairs is great exercise, but not when one is handicapped.
2. Is there such a thing as a USB remote switch that could be used to switch the EHD from one receiver to the other? I realize I would have to run 50' of USB cable between the 2 receivers.

Split the hdmi signal coming from the 622. One to your Den tv by hdmi and the other with a 50' hdmi cable to the second tv. Use that to watch recorded programs or the same program live. You can leave the RG6 in place to watch sd on the second tv.

The best solution would be to add another HD DVR to the living room. You could lease one from Dish or buy one from a authorized supplier like www.solidsignal.com.
