Not sure about #1, I'm sure someone knows. Check Tivo's website, they may list set up codes for the amp you're using.
#2, other USB wifi access points will work, but not all features. The tivo brand one works all features. I'd say give the one you have a try. Again, the tivo website, or someplace like tivocommunity might have a table of which ones work. Lastly, the only real differences in the HD vs S3 box is the hard drive size, the THX, and a few other little features like the glow remote and the front panel display. You can also order either box with upgraded hard drive from someplace like www.weakknees.com and even get lifetime service from them (I think). If you're going to record HD frequently, I would get more hard drive, internal or external. The S3 box as I understand it can use ANY external eSATA hard drive, while the HD box requires the "My DVR Expander" for a few extra bucks. Shop around, the S3 boxes can be had far cheaper than the MSRP, they aren't that far apart in price any more.
