If your Tivos aren't hacked (or aren't going to be -- the Humax boxes require a PROM mod to hack if I recall) then it probably won't make much difference to you. Wired might be a bit faster, but not enough that you'll notice a significant gap.
(You can definitely get much better performance with wired adapters if you hack the boxes and go through some tuning steps, FWIW.) --chris
