Alternative endpoint device for 1642HDC?

I have (and enjoy) my whole home DVR package (Cisco/Contour), and I currently have seven TVs connected to it via the Cisco 1642HDC boxes. I am paying a good deal monthly for rental of these devices, and I just wanted to see if there is any other device I can use to access live TV/DVR content for at least some of these TVs. 

I have XBox 360 or XBox One at four of the televisions, and two of the TVs are not used that often. If I could find some (relatively) cheap way to get these devices connected to my DVR, I would be really happy to knock down my monthly bill. 

I have read a little about MoCA, and that's what got me wondering if I might already have most of what I need. I appreciate the feedback.

While this won't work for live TV there is a way to play recorded programming via PS3 utilizing DLNA.  It's not something we support however it's known to work with the Playstation 3.  Similar techniques could be used to get this working with other devices however mileage will vary.  See this link for more information:
