Not absolutely sure this is the right place for this but here goes. I have two TiVos and have networked them using Solwise AV 200 homeplugs. I am thinking of treating myself to a new TV in the sales which will be a smart TV. I don't have a spare homeplug and they only have room for one Ethernet cable to attach to it.
If I wanted to network the new TV, could I buy a cable splitter and then run the two cables from one of the TiVos and the TV into the same homeplug? Or would that not work? It seems to me, that would be the cheapest and easiest way to do it if it would work. Thanks.
