My solution to the exact same problem (well, I don't have DTV) is a 
wireless access point (I got a D-Link 713P for $50 after rebate) and a 
wireless bridge (also a D-Link, also $50).  My WAP is in the back of the 
house with the other computers and the DSL line, and my Myth box will just 
plug into the wireless bridge once I move it permanently to the living room.

If you have a box with enough PCI slots you could use a normal wireless PCI 
card as well, but I wanted to minimize cards.
