Can I record on one DirecTV TiVo, and watch on another?

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully set up their DirecTV TiVos, so that a program can be recorded on one machine, and watched on the other.  DirecTV tells me that feature is available on stand-alone TiVos (as part of the Home Media option), but not with their DirecTV TiVo receivers.  Has anyone successfully gotten around this restriction?

Which Wireless g adapter for a new tivo?

I just bought the Humax model to add to my older series 2 and my Dlink DI624 gateway. I would like to link them wirelessly. I see the solutions on the board for g adapters. Is there a list of adapters to stay away from? I see the list on Tivo.com but I assume that it is far from complete. What is the most elegant g solution and/or most inexpensive (in case Tivo allows USB 2.0)

Networking a TiVo

Anyone know how to connect the tivo to the internet via computer? My computer is connected to a broadband wireless network. I've got a crossover ethernet wire to connect my computer to the tivo, now I just need to figure out how to get the Tivo to find the internet. Essentially I am trying to turn my computer into a router that Tivo can work with, but have had no luck. Any ideas?

Internet Connected PVRs?

I'm looking to publish video via the internet to peoples' TVs. Akimbo has a process for doing this as does dave.tv. Does anyone know of how to publish video over the internet that Tivo users can download and subscribe to, or if there are other internet connected set tops ?

Connected DVD Players

Whatever became of the connected/wireless DVD players announced in January from Linksys and D-Link? Did these products get abandoned? I thought that these devices would be the most likely to get the wireless side of the equation right which seems pretty important if you want to stream video over a wireless network.

In the absence of those devices, is the Gateway Connected DVD player the best of the crop (vs. GoVideo, etc.) for streaming video over a 802.11g network?

DirecTivo and wireless?

I have DirectTv and have read that they "cripple" some of the features for their receivers - namely you can't use the wireless adapters. I have no phoneline near my receiver - what's the best option receiver wise for using wifi connectivity?
