Wireless VOD Connection

[pete409]

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but what is the easiest and cheapest way to get my HR20 wireless so I can watch VOD? My PC is too far away for me to run a cat5 all the way to the location.

Thanks,

Probably the easiest way is to go the DirecTV web site, sign onto your account and then under 'My Setup' select the 'Add Kits & Equipment and order the powerline adapters, $24.99 each. The use your inhouse wiring to extend your network from a router to the HR2X.

You could also buy a bridge or "game adapter", which is a wifi adapter that will plug into the ethernet port. These are typically around $80.

Agree 100%. A wireless bridge is more expensive and a PITA to setup.
