As I understand it, you plug a HomePlug unit into a socket, and plug an ethernet cable into it. (Or is it USB?)
I'm not looking to install any wire.
To clarify - The DirecTv and TiVo units need a phone connection or network connection to talk to their servers. I was looking at a network connection because my Tivo and phone lines are on opposite sides of the room.
