All of the wifi bridges I have seen just support one device on the other
end...and I'm not sure it would really solve the problems with wireless
dropping out (I don't know if it is a tivo problem or a wireless
problem, as the tivo will drop while the wireless PC are still
going)...that's half the problem...and the other is just lack of speed
on HD downloads (amazon) and file transfers from tivo to PC.
Dropping a wire down through a wall into a crawl space on the other end
of the house and then running under the house is a major pain. I did
that for my rear speakers in my big room, but that was just across one
room and the crawl space there is easy to get to. There is much less
room on the computer end of the house...Powerline adapters, if they
work, is more than a sufficient solution. If they work, which we'll see
soon enough.

A wifi bridge is just that and there are more than a few out there.
AFAIK, take an old WRT54G(S) w/ dd-wrt & it can be setup to work in
reverse as a client/bridge instead of an AP/Router. Don't know if
that's going to work better than simply putting the devices on the
wifi directly though.
IMHO it does not take major construction to run a single drop across a
basement & up through the floor in most houses, YMMV. 99% of the time
that's what I wold do, the other 1% I simply run wire around edges of
room! ;)
Let us know how it works out
