I honestly understood very little of what you said, I know next to nothing about these things. I'll read teh Tivo Community thread shortly though, but a quick rundown of my setup:
Dual LNB Dish --> 2x4 multiswitch on first floor
2 coax lines to Directivo in family room
a coax line to directv receiver on first floor
a coax line to basement (standard RCA receiver)
The one coax drop to the basement was here when I bought the house and I have no idea how it gets there. Goes under carpet somewhere and comes out of the ceiling in one of my basement's corners. I doubt that I'd be able to retrace the cable and run a second one, given my fear of screwing up the carpet and ignorance in these matters...
I was hoping you could use a $25 2x4 multiswitch for one coax line and go 1x2. If I could do that, take the one coax line in the basement and run two coax cables to the new directivo...
Anyway, thanks for the help and I'll do some research...
