Or, consider the DishNet ViP722 receiver. It has an RF output for a 2nd
TV.
At some point there could be enough demand for them to consider making the
2nd TV be fed an HD signal. Then they will need an ATSC or QAM modulator.

That's a possible alternative. OTOH, I'm working to eliminate metallic
wiring in my home as much as I can (doesn't seem so easy for electric
power).
