Also, I have found that it is better run the cable directly into the cable box without installing a wall outlet, because it provides a better signal. You may also consider a wireless box from Xfinity. They claim that their wireless box will provide the same function as an X1 cable box, without DVR service, which apparently, you don't need with Tivo. Good luck.

That floor went down a week ago. Nobody is messing with it.
Pike's Electric is scheduled to install the outlet. They will drop a line down through the attic. Fingers crossed. (It is costing a lot more than we ever paid for installation of an outlet from Comcast up north, BTW.)
Xfinity's wireless box won't work for us. It would REPLACE my TiVo, not work WITH it. (We don't have any boxes from Comcast. TiVo's require cable cards, which do the job of their boxes. The cards are rented from Comcast, of course.)
None of the streaming solutions are able to replace Xfinity's cable service coming into my TiVo.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
