It's low tech, but looks great on the 1080p native resolution, and Lisa can watch Ugly Betty or whatever online if the DVR doesn't record it (which happens all the time... my DVR is so buggy it's almost worse than no DVR at all).

I've got the same setup but with the cable I already mentioned. It certainly does work well, just not something I want to deal with on a daily basis. I looked into wireless solutions and they were way too rich for my blood and didn't support higher than 720i IIRC.
And my DVR is uber buggy too. It does some weird shit that makes no sense and they die all the time even though they're in a ventilated area and I keep the vents clean. That's right, we're on our 4th in a year and a half.
I will not let them replace it again. I'll cancel that shit in a second if this one dies...and either it or the external HDD is not working right so I had to disconnect it last night.
