I just installed a Directv HD DVR, replaceing a TIVO unit. I was backfeeding my signal to the other bedrooms via RG6 cable. With the HD DVR their is no RG6 output. Is their a device that will take the signal out of the DVR and allow a RG6 connect to backfeed to the bedrooms?
 
You need a modulator - you can get one at Lowes/Home Depot/walmart/Radio Shack/circuit city etc etc. About $20. Connect it to the s-video or yellow video connectors on the DVR, and to the red/white RCA audio connectors.

If you really mean you were backfeeding it onto the sat cable using diplexers than there are other problems; post back if that's your configuration, because diplexers won't work with the signals from the DirecTV10 and 11 satellites.
