moving (all done finally): DVR

Installing my DVR has been the last thing that I've had to do to "finish" moving into the new apartment (http://project05952381.blogspot.com/2010/12/moving-finally-getting-tv-service.html). I wanted to upgrade my TiVo Series2 DT (23/37/48/80 hours of standard definition) for a TiVo Premier (45 hours of high definition to 400 hours of standard definition) using a powerline network adapter (85 Mbs, 15 Mbs to hold connection, insignificant trade-off), but I couldn't. The newer model doesn't support satellite dish converters via external infra-red (IR) controller cables. A newer model's scheduled to come out early next year is supposed to support IR controllers.
