I know Dish has receivers that you can view in 2 rooms, but... Can either service offer multi-room dvr viewing over ethernet/coax? If not yet, does either have it in the works?

DirecTV exec's have said they plan to have it as a feature in the 2nd half 2009, currently in testing phase.

U-verse can do it now if that's something that really interests you.

Fios can too.. I had it before, and LOVED it... However I am in a new subdivision and they haven't laid anything yet... and I don't see them laying anything in the near future :( Guess I will just have to wait, lol

To answer your question, yes, the second TV is connected to the Dish DVR via coax cable. But the signal is SD only.
You can watch DVR on either TV set, or on both of them at the same time. You can even watch two recorded programs on two TV sets while recording three other programs at the same time: two over satellite and one OTA.
