Connecting Sony TV

I have older Sony Bravia TV's that are not wireless capable.  Is there mini-genie devices that can be used that will pickup up my wireless network and input to these older Sony's?

DTV has wireless mini clients and a WVB that setup a separate WiFi network that doesn't use your home network.

It does not matter if your TV is wireless capable or not, as DirecTV does not connect to any TV wirelessly.

All DirecTV boxes connect to TV by HDMI (or A/V cables if pre-HD TV).

The only somewhat wireless option is a couple of Mini Genie Clients (C41W and C61W). The main Genie connects to them by way of a wireless video bridge (WVB) that is installed on the coax. The Mini Genies are still connected to the TV wired by HDMI.
