High definition distribution within home over coax?

With standard def TV I had four TiVos distributing their standard video signals throughout my house on coaxial channels 71, 73, 75, and 75. (Each TiVo controled with an IR distribution system).

I'm a convert to HDTV now (HR20's - God help me) and I have them feeding the same network (in standard def though), but it would be nice to be able to view HDTV from each HR20 on each of the other HDTV's in the house. This would require a way to split out HDMI data and convert to ATSC over-the-air signal to distribute over the coax. To date I have been unable to find something like this. So until the HR20 is upgrade to allow ethernet or WiFi distibution, has anyone found such a device to convert to OTA signal to distribute in the home over coax or any other solutions to this?

Thanks...

I would prolly look into using a a wireless media center that can carry HD. There is many of those on the market

Thanks... can you suggest a couple? I was not aware that there was the bandwidth to accomodate this and this would be great, would save a lot of hassle. Probably would be wise to use a separate 802.11g box for this so as not saturate the home network and interfere with internet?

Do these allow split off of HDMI to go to the TV at the same location as the satellite box?
