I saw one, one time, that let you put 4 devices on 4 separate channels plus it allowed you to control them with special IR receivers that transmitted back down the line the remote signals to the devices. It works with anything that uses a IR remote. The only downside to this whole thing is if 2 people are watching the same thing on the same channel and someone changes the channel/pauses the device or whatever then it effects everybody watching the same channel.

I would love to install several video devices in a rack in my basement and be able to watch any feed on any TV in the house, preferably with seperate sources on at least two TVs. I have a single run of quad shield coax and Ehternet to all of my TV locations as well as Wireless in my house.

It came in handy when we first moved and didn't yet have the 2nd TV and Tivo set up - I put the 2nd Tivo down in the laundry room and use the SlingBox to change the setup and mange programs, doing the viewing via Tivo's native MRV.Full remote control would truly be a killer feature for Tivo to incorporate though. I think that having "TV's + 1" would be a no-brainer if it were easy to manage the headless unit and basically use it as a remote capture device. Then again, that's sort of what dual-tuners are for so... :) Interesting how they’ve chosen to split things.
