Dvr Linked Together

Is it possible to link multiple dvr boxes together and view all of them on the same network? I have 3 old HR-20s and I can record 2 shows on each of them and view them on one tv. I would like to have 3 dvr's that I can view on any of my tv's. I want to record 2 shows on each of them and veiw those shows on all tv's.

You can do so by getting DIRECTV's Whole-Home DVR Service upgrade. With this upgrade your HD DVRs will be networked and you can record a show on one TV then view it on another TV or record a show on one TV then access the shared Playlist and watch a recording from your other DVR. An upgrade usually costs $199 (includes all cables and adapters for networking) but you can negotiate for a better deal with a CSR.
