I always had trouble getting powerline ethernet to work - they have to be on the same circuit, there couldn't be too much wiring between them, etc. USB wifi is easy.

Only certain USB wifi adapters work with Tivo, however. If you want 802.11g and/or WPA encryption support, you have to buy the Tivo brand USB wireless adapter. ($40 from Amazon; $60 from tivo.com)

If you just want 802.11b and/or WEP, you can get any of the list of supported ones for your model Tivo on tivo.com.
