    Default Need some options with setting up my dvr internet connection

    Ok i have a DirecTv HD Receiver and DVR. It has ondemand which I never thought about til now but it has to be connected to the internet to work. The receiver has an ethernet port which is how it has to be connected.

    DirecTv gives me 3 options.

    1) Wired . The house isnt wired for Ethernet so have to run long *** cable downstairs.

    2) Wireless. Has to be connected to a wireless adapter through the ethernet port. USB ones wont work.

    3) Powerline. Most convenient. But the most expensive. Too much crap to buy.

    Any ideas?

    If you have wireless internet already, then you will need a ethernet to Wireless Bridge
