I know there is much discussion about splitting the DirecTV signal and sending it to other receivers. I don't think I am trying to do that, and I could use a little advice.

I have a DirecTV HR-22 High Def DVR. It has 2 coax cables routed to it. I would like to somehow get the DirecTV signal on another TV in a different room without another receiver. As I understand it, I would have to watch what is on the main TV/DVR, and that is fine.

Is there a way to do this? Do I need a SWM? It would seem to me that wouldn't do any good unless I had another receiver. Is it possible to do this with the coax cable that already routes to the 2nd TV from the main TV?

Thanks for the help...
