Question for Time Warner HD DVR owners

[GooMan]

I'm looking at time warner and I had a question for any Time Warner customers who have the HD DVR.

Is it possible to use two different outputs simultaneously (i.e., the same show can be viewed on two different TVs at the same time)?

What I want to do is use the HDMI output to feed my main TV downstairs, and then use the composite output to feed a second small TV in my bedroom. From what the sales rep tells me I can't watch two different shows like I can with satellite, but since I can't be both upstairs and downstairs simultaneously that is not a big deal. I just want to be able to record shows downstairs and be able to watch them upstairs or down.

Thanks in advance.

(I posted the same question in another thread but I didn't think anyone would see it because it was an old thread and not quite the same topic)

I'm not going to swear by this, but I think it may be possible for you to do what you want to do.
But whatever you do, BE SURE TO ASK FOR Scientific Atlanta's Explorer 8300 HD/DVR box. The Explorer model 8000 is a lousy piece of crap, according to a comparative review of the two HD/DVR boxes.

That's the website for Scientific Atlanta.
