I bought a second Mini yesterday on sale (Best Buy price-matched Amazon $122.74 price drop yesterday, plus I had $25 in reward certificates).
I tried to use it in upstairs bedroom, where I have no coax and no Ethernet, with a powerline adapter I had (I know, I know TiVo officially only supports MoCA or Ethernet).
It connected fine, but then it started the usual freezing and stuttering. Damn it! My house is build in 1974, so the electrical wiring may be funky.
Would a wifi extender with Ethernet port work better? Something like this:

I have read the order of preference for connecting a Mini is Ethernet - MoCa - wireless - powerline. True?
The adapter would be one level immediately above where router is located.
I have solid wifi in the house - Verizon FIOS 100/100 with Quantum Gateway router G1100 - and get a constant 85-90 Mbps upstairs.
I currently have a Directv wireless genie in the bedroom, which works flawlessly, but I am really trying to see if I can cancel Directv by January, and can't do so until I have a working Mini in the bedroom.
Or should I just bite the bullet and hire somebody to lay coax and Ethernet to the bedroom?
