asterisk users - Jul 2006 - Can one SIP extension be used for two phones?

Picture this:

Exten => 100 #My Phone
Exten => 200 #MythPhone

Call comes in. Dialplan calls both extensions.
MythPhone is an add-on for MythTV,so when i receive a call,the CallerID
is flashed up on my TV.
I want to add another MythPhone to my other MythTV box upstairs.

Do i have to make a third extension and get the dialplan to call all
three extensions or can the second MythPhone instance also log into
Asterisk using the same extension?

Thanks, Alun

Each phone needs its extension

But, you can have the dialplan ring more than one phone and the first
to pickup the call is the lucky one :)

like : Dial(SIP/100&SIP/200&SIP/300)

Yeah, I have the dialplan goto voicemail if unanswered so mythphone
never actually picks up.
I use mythphone purely as a visual indication of who is calling.

Thanks for replying.
