Can one HD-DVR play programming off another

I noticed that my HD-DVR shows up on my home network now as a Media Server. I suppose is to facilitate the DirecTV2PC functioinality. My PS3 found it as a media server, can view the programs, folders, etc but can't play the format (expected).

I don't have a second HD-DVR to try this but if I did, would the two of them see each other as media servers and be able to play content from each other?

Not yet. DirecTV calls this feature "multiroom viewing" or "MRV", and it's coming soon.

It seems that I say a reference to this (MRV) while I was browsing the On Demand guide - something to the effect that you could "download once and watch in multiple rooms."

Does this mean that MRV is now available or at least in the not-too-distant future? Or, was I just imagining things?

PPV programming if ordered online can be viewed on each receiver/DVR if ordered as all day but this would be a regular PPV option..  If you order it to record to a specific receiver then it will record there only.  Non PPV events will only record to one DVR via On Demand.  Under Directv2PC, you can download to one DVR and play the recording on up to two PC's.
