Yeah, the component would just be running 6 feet from the living room receiver to the living room TV.

Thought about that; but even going the cheap way out and getting a receiver and an external hard drive I am looking at $300. Then I would only be a single tuner so anytime it would want to record I would have to be watching that tuner. Plus there is something to be said for having a kind of "PVR Anywhere" feature; so the fiancee can "just hit record" and then watch her HD movies on either TV.

Of course the other consideration is where to put the extra box in the kitchen. I already got a stern "absolutely not!" when I suggested we could get a small PC with a wireless keyboard and mouse and use the 32" TV as a huge computer monitor in the kitchen.
