You can Dottie yourself. I just did. I have a GIGE capable router and cat 6 drops all over the house. These term into my directv receivers and other Internet ready devices. The hard part is getting them to activate the whole home DVR. I had to email tech support and ask for "unsupported whole home DVR activation". I also explained to them what kind of network I have.
But make sure your router is up to the task. I recommend a 10/100/1000 router. Not because of the GIGE handshake "receivers only connect at 100mbps" but because of the higher capacity processor and buss in the router.
My setup works fine 0 issues.
Good luck.
