Does anyone including those at Shunyata know if there any way to get around this issue and buy an external wall wart for the TiVo which can be plugged into a Shunyata power cord?

I recommend getting a Keces P3, its only $399; Its only few bucks more than the Booster and it it is much easier to place on a shelf like any other component. Ivan carries them; you can get them for supporting different voltages. Check the voltage and current spec of your wall-wart, which I presume to be a SMPS. It has an IEC receptable for using with a C13 Shunyata power cord. Its about the size of a Mac Mini. It also has 1/8" thick solid aluminum case on all sides to prevent radiaton from getting out of the power supply. One of the problems with the Sbooster is the DC cable is captive; its better to use linear PSU that allows you to use a DC cable of your choice. For the Keces and TiVo recommend getting a Ghent Audio GAC-4/1 11301 UltraPro Star Quad (JSSG 360) DC cable of the shortest length that will work for you. They are built with Oyaide DC barrel plugs that are higher quality than the one on the Sbooster. Be sure to check the diameter of the barrel plug your Tivo requires; the Keces wants a 2.5mm barrel plug diameter. Ghent will make cables with different diameters on each end, if required.

For this application, the Venom V14 Digital is recommended as it specifically designed for this application (powering power supplies for digital devices). I would recommend this instead of getting an NR-V10 or NR-V12. You can order that from Ivan, too.
