I have an open wireless network for the same reasons, and I've ongoingly resisted closing it.

The two devices I'm worried about most here are the Tivo and the Wii.I suspect my neighbors won't crack whatever I come up with (they seem like they're lazy/dumb rather than underhanded/sophisticated). But I do need to come up with something.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-963">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> See, that’s the other part that spooks me out, I have no way of knowing in advance if all my devices support WPA, and even if they do, I’m not sure I want to spend hours configuring each one.

That's assuming all of your network devices support WPA, of course.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-962">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> MAC filtering is pretty easy to get around for determined neighbours — a better defense would be use use WPA with a 64-character hex key (not a passphrase, which are much easier to crack).
