So I have my cable modem installed upstairs and wanted a wired connection downstairs.  While there is an ethernet jack on the back of the Motorola digital set top box downstairs, it's not a live ethernet connection.

So I ordered a Western Digital WD Livewire and voila, my problem is solved.  I now have a wired connection downstairs that connects to a computer so I can watch streaming computer stuff on the TV.
