Lewis, Your comments raised another possible application... Have you [or anyone] tried to connect a DirecTV DVR to the Internet? DirecTV DVRs [HR-21 & HR-22, at least] allows such a connection and, in fact, requires it for certain On-Demand functions. My particular DVRs are located where there is no way to connect them to a normal ethernet->router cable. But, it occurs to me that one of these 'bridges' that you mention might be a way to get this connectivity. The DVRs have ethernet ports. Could one of these wireless devices be configured to access the Internet via the same Router/AP that I use for my TPad? Just curious... Carl
