I believe so, but if you're doing this through myth then definitely.
I'm not sure of whether the device itself will stream one input to one
system and the second to another.  Good question.

However, mythtv will act as a redirector so you'll get:

    +------+     +--------+     +-----+
    | HDHR | --> | mythtv | --> | tv1 |
    +------+ --> +--------+     +-----+
                   |
                   |
                   v
                 +--------+
                 |  tv2   |
                 +--------+

Sadly, the movie industry is still trying very hard to protect their
content by requiring that distributors send everything over flash or
other hard-to-break-the-data-from technologies (silverlight being
worse).

I'm looking forward to the day when they realize that itune/amazon's
unprotected mp3 sales have allowed the market place to rise again.
Cross your fingers.
