OR you can feed one TV from coax output, another from LRV output, etc.

Depending on your house setup.. if it's fairly new and was pre-wired for cable.. you could always use the existing wiring in your house.

Normally, Cable comes in to your attic, or some other point, then gets split to each room.

I went and 'backfed' my entire house with my 722. I simply plugged the CoaxOut from the DVR into the wall.. then went into the attic and switched the "Cable Input" to the room that was getting fed the signal from the DVR. There should be a splitter up there already.


Now I can watch my DVR in any room via the Coax. (Of course my main tv is hooked up via HDMI etc...) I THINK you can even set it up so the coax is a seperate output display than the others so that you coudl watch two channels on two different TVs (one being the main room, and the other being a coax fed TV).
