I saw this on a TiVo website. Do you think you can use this for DirecTV? My boxes are not near phone jacks.
Anyone have luck with this or recommendations on what type to buy?

Dylan: "TiVo does work with wireless phone jacks that use your homes electrical system to transmit the phone signal. Be sure to get one that is designed to support modem speeds of at least 33 Kbps. Some people have had success with the RCA/GE/Radio Shack models but others haven't. It might be because RCA makes two wireless phone jacks. The 926 model is only rated to 14.4 Kbps while the 930 model is rated to 56 Kbps. Users have definitely reported problems with the 926 model. It's unclear if some of the problems reported were also with the 930 model.
The one most sure to work, based on user reports, seems to be the Phonex PX-441. They are designed to be used with modems and have individual security codes so they should be safe in apartment buildings. Based on physical appearance and specs, it does appear that the Phonex PX-441 and RCA 930 are sourced from the same manufacturer. But this hasn't been confirmed."
