Two wireless bridges?

We have an old two story house with lath & plaster walls and cannot find a good spot for the wireless bridge.  Can we use two?  

1.  If we can use two, can the second one be completely wireless or does it need a coax input too?  
2.  Assuming we can buy a second one and it can be totally wireless, how do we get one, I don't see it on the list of equipment for sale.

WVBs need a coax run to either a WVB or to the SWM splitter.

You can use multiple wirless video bridges (WVB). But each WVB must be wired into the coax. It is wireless only between it and the Client, not to the main Genie.

Alternatively, assuming you have the regular Genie line, you can have wired Clients (or peferably HDDVRs) so that you get more reliability (and capability in the case of an HDDVR with tuners and recording space). No difference in monthly cost as you pay for the authorized TV no matter what kind of box is on it.
