I have a HD/DVR in the living room and in the bedroom have an older tube TV. I was thinking of running coax from receiver to TV but there is no coax output on the receiver. I have wireless video senders using RCA wires that I think would work. I don't have the extra money for the additional receiver for the bedroom. Would this work? I also have remote control senders that I could use to send the remote signal from one room to the other. If the receiver has two tuners, why can't I hook up two TV's to it....or can I? Any help would be appreciated! --Thanks, Andy
 
RCA cables will work fine. If you want to use regular coaxial cable, you can use a vcr to modulate the signal. Just plug the rca outputs of the dvr to the inputs of the vcr, then coax to the tv. Make sure to put the tv channel on 3 or 4, whatever the output of the vcr is.
 
I have a similar set-up HR24 to HD TV in living room. I have a 25ft component cable running to a component to composite converter and then I split coming out of the converter to 2 SD TV's in bedrooms. I have remote signal senders in each bedroom. The system works perfectly. I use the converter so the HD guide issue is not a problem. The SD TV's show the HD guide without converting to 480. You can just run a composite (yellow,red,white) cable from the receiver to any SD TV but you need to convert to 480 for the guide to work. Plus all the TV's will be watching the same channel, in this set-up. No way to watch different channels on different TV's. Even with a 25ft component cable from the receiver to the converter and then being split my PQ is really excellent on the SD TV's. Comparable to S-Video quality on the SD TV's.

Thanks to all of y'all for the info. I'll be hooking this up in a day or so. I'll use the composite cables to do it. Shouldn't be hard at all. You guys are great. Thanks again!--Andy
Edit -- Those are the RF senders I have in the link provided except they are Radio Shack. They look identical.
 
I don't think anyone mentioned that the other TV would only have mirrored programming that is shown on his main TV, but maybe the OP figured that out by now.

RVU over ethernet instead of COAX?

Spliting satellite signal ???
