Watching PPV on other receivers

[pmart15]

Does anyone know another way to watch a PPV on a different receiver other than the one that ordered it? DirecTV says to hook multiple TV's up to the same receiver but that won't work for most people. Will getting it Zippered do anything for this?

Ideally, I would like to record an event (UFC) on my DirecTV Tivo'd unit and watch it in another room (big screen). Thanks!

If you use the DirecTV website to order a PPV then it's available to all receivers on your account.

Learned this great "trick" right on this board.

Just used it Thursday for the premiere of Superman Returns.

It's great being able to walk from room to room and have the all-day ticket active on all 3 of my Tivos and my regular receiver.

I'll definitely always order every PPV online from now on.

One other way would be to run the 'zipper' script on a DTivo hard drive, enabling "Multi Room viewing". You could then watch the PPV program on any DTivo connected to your home network.

Success! Thanks guys!

That won't work if the other receivers aren't TiVos. :)
