Multi TV Hookup w/hd300

Has anyone hooked up 2 tv's at one time using the hd300 receiver? I'm would like to do this for the super bowl so that I can have 2 tv's in different rooms going at once.

Assuming you are using component out and not DVI, the s-video,composite,and RF jacks are all live, so yes. I have TVs in 2 other rooms that I can feed off of my 300, Tivo or their own D* receiver.

Thanks Picman, that is my setup, using component to go to plasma and I want to use RF to go to the other tv.

I'd try it out before you get too excited. I have the Hughes HTL-HD (the little brother to the HD300) and it will output only 1 aspect ratio at a time. So if I have my 16x9 RPTV going with the standard aspect ratio, my second 4x3 TV hooked up to the RF out of the HTL-HD looks like a 16x9 picture squished horizontally to fit in a 4x3 space. If I expand the aspect ratio to look normal on the 4x3 TV, then the 16x9 RPTV looks stretched horizontally. If anybody has found a way to make this work please tell us how.
