You should also note that you can use another box - you aren't restricted to an HDPVR (unless you want the other TV to also have HD and PVR capabilities).

The Future Shop website lists 3 different Bell recievers:

 

4100:

This is a standard reciever which will work with all standard digital channels but will be unable to accept HD (high definition) channels.

 

6131:

This reciever is able to accept both standard AND high definition signals. This reciever is also equipped with a USB port which will allow you to attach an external harddrive and record the shows your watching. In addition, it is also able to pause and rewind live television.

 

The last one is the PVR that has already been mentioned in the thread. If your secondary TV is older that doesn't support HD, the 4100 will do the trick. However for roughly $100 more you can get a reciever that is capable of recieving standard and high def signals, while also having the option of recording. Essentially it is not only future proofing you for when you upgrade your older television, but also giving you the option to record your standard def shows.
