Questions about R16

[samvonac]

I'm thinking of putting a R16 in the living room and using the two composite outputs to connect to two other tv's in adjacent rooms and the coax out to the tv in the living room. None of the tvs will ever be watched at the same time and the rooms are close enough that the RF on the remote should work. I would save lease fees as I current have 3 standard dvrs for these 3 rooms but I know I'll have to fork out the $99 for the DVR. I'm already paying the DVR service fee for an H21 that I have in another room. Does this sound like a feasible plan?

By composite I assume you mean the red, white, and yellow cables. Yes, then it should work just fine, although I would use the composite to the living room and split the coax to the other two.

Couldn't you do the same thing with the DVRs you have now (or are they older non-RF models)? There is no DVR fee for a H21, since it isn't a DVR.

I currently have an HR21 but i don't want to send the signal from this box to the other rooms.
