How hard is it to add networking to a 5504 so I can get missing TV
episodes?

From what I've read, it can be done but only till the next update, which
makes it impractical. Better off buying a 5000 series on ebay. You'll
appreciate the Commercial Advance feature too.

I"m about to do it.. The easy way (Won a 5040 on E-bay and should get it
either end of this week or next)

That is the best way, since teh 50 and 55's can talk to each other.

Need more than a 40 though for the wife, she's farther behind in TV
watching than I am.

I was going to upgrade my Replay (I already had a 250GB drive to put
in), but never did. It was too easy to use DVArchive. That drive is
now in my newest computer.
