For Tivo

Do you need a constant connection? My router wont be in the same room as the TV, and I have no phone line.

not constant, but i think it connects every night or soemthing, and it'll bea bitch to do.

You can have it force the call once you hook it up. Mine "calls" daily though, and you really want a constant connection, especially if you want to take advantage of online scheduling.

Go Wireless if you can - but keep in mind you need a wired connection to perform the guided setup without a phone line. Send me a PM if you need more info on how to do that. Once you've done that, you can use a wireless USB2.0 adapter to make the connection.

They're practically giving wirelss NIC and router away for free after MIR. Ok, I'm exaggerating, but they're real cheap.

Go Wireless, I have a Netgear MA101 you can have for $25 shipped.

I use a USB ethernet adaptor for my tivo2, works nicely. What model do you have?

 

[TallBill]

Ok.. I suck at wireless networking. Havn't touched one in over a year.

I have one of These.

Are pretty much all usb adapters compatible with Tivo?

And could I then just buy any 802.11b router and it would work with the adaptor I already have?

Wireless adapters and TiVo here. The adapter you have seems to work with most TiVo models.

edited for clarity.
