I've read a number of threads about how to connect 1 tivo to 2 TVs by using a cable splitter and IR-RF extenders etc.

The question I have is...how can I connect my downstairs Tivo to my upstairs TV without having to run new cable through the house?

I've read about RF modulators, but I'm unclear on whether or not this would help...don't understand how they work in this application to be honest.

Maybe there's no solution... :down:

Thanks!!!

What you'll want to look for is some manner of video casting system. These basically take the output of your TiVo and send it to another location, either wireless, through the cable wiring in the house, or through your telephone wire. Check out the Terk Leapfrog or AVCast (a google on either will get you tons of info).
