Inasmuch as your system is working, you might consider sticking with the Powerline, assuming this test works out. If you have a laptop, disable the wireless and connect the laptop to your router with a Ethernet cable. Then go to www.speedtest.net and run a bandwidth test and mark it down. Then move the laptop to the Powerline that your Directv is using and run the test again. Some Powerline adapters work okay but have a dramatic reduction in bandwidth. Such a reduction would hamper your ability to enjoy the VOD from Directv. If the bandwidth is near the same in both locations then I'd say you're good to go, at least for now.
