 | Apparently Tivo provides for a way to connent to the mothership to download the TV guide for the owners respective cable access provider.. I didnt have a phone jack anywhere near the Tivo box, so I ended up stringing a phone line (luckily Tivo provides a long one) across the living room and all the way into the kitchen to get Tivo phone access... the wife wasn't too happy about that configuration. I guess it does go against some aesthetic law to have a phone cord strung up in the middle of the house like a washing line. (I apologize if any of the readers still utilize that method). It did take a little bit of fiddling with, most errors were on my part (I forgot my WEP password) and BAM! My Tivo is now net-enabled! I can now even download Tivo'ed shows off of the Tivo box and onto my laptop (have to download a free Tivo desktop client) and better yet, I can share the shows with perhaps futue Tivo boxes in other parts of the house *hint*. Note: I did attempt to buy a generic usb wireless ethernet card but Tivo didnt recognize it, so just go down to Radioshack and buy it for $10 cheaper than off of the TIVO.com site! |

We had the same issue with the phone cord and even worse, the number was long distance for us. But we have successfully used a wireless Linksys USB adapter off of their approved list.
