I take it from your title, that you’re looking for a wireless way to stream video? I haven’t tried them out, but maybe a wireless media box like D-Link DSM-750 could help you out. They are used to stream video/audio wirelessly from a PC to a TV. You could buy one for each TV and you would be good to go. The direct TV DVR output is a little harder. Do you want HD? Does your receiver have a zone 2 video output?
One way for the DirectTV video streaming would be to use Slingbox products. You would need a slingbox for the directtv DVR input and then slingcatchers for the other 2 TVs.
If you have an HTPC, then you could connect the dvr output to a HTPC capture card, and then use the d-link media boxes to wirelessly stream video.
Hope this helps.
