Don't beat me up because this is my first post. I really joind the board to find a solution to this exact problem.
I have one of the first HD boxes that was available in my area. I think it must be the 622. It's also a DVR. I have an aging CRT SD TV in the kitchen. It's just the wife and I and we don't need to watch different shows at the same time. Right now I have the second channel coax going to the kitchen TV. I have the second channel remote set up to allow changing channels. I'm going to replace the TV with a 22" LCD TV. I really want to see a better picture than SD on it.
I found the following device that shows promise. It's a HDMI signal splitter for $50.00... from MCM Electronics PN33-10540 It's supposed to boost the HDMI signal 50 feet. But I don't know if you can even buy a 50 foot HDMI cable.
Then I found a HDMI Over Cat6 Tx/Rx... PN 33-11050 This is supposed to send HDMI over 5M but that's only 15 feet I think there is a typo in the specs.
So there is equipment out there that should allow me to wath HD in more than one location from the one single tuner.
I would like to here if anyone has tried any of this type of equipment, specifically with the Dish HD DVR unit.
