'Cept you'll still have to buy the Ethernet card for your TiVo. I keep forgettin'.
Really? Mine came with an ethernet port. All I had to buy was the wireless network adapter thingy.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

If I only had a brain...
Is yours a Series 3?

Our wings are not tired
My series2 has a USB port, not an ethernet port. I could either add the USB WiFi adapater or a USB to Ethernet adapter.

Pretty sure it's a Series 2.

Oh, you know what, I bet mine is networked through the USB port. Doh!]

We have a physical Ethernet cable running around the corner into the living room, and another one running from that bridge to the kids' video games. Maybe it's time to snake those cables under the crawl space.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oh! I may just run out and get a USB WiFi adaptor for my Series 2 when I'm shopping for a router/access point.
Hmm. Does TiVo support wireless g? I was thinking of getting 802.11g router, since ::handwaves:: everyone says it's the wave of the future, blah blah, even though I hardly know the difference between g and b, but then my laptop has integrated wireless 802.11b processor, so perhaps there is no point in forking out extra$ for the g-version.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You need to be really precise about the card model and version.
eta: b only, but you can get a b/g router (I think that's what I have).

Build your own media library by burning TiVoToGo transferred shows to DVD with the purchase of Sonic's MyDVD software.
Too bad ReplayTV has had this feature available with free software for, oh, about two to three years now.
Damn you Tivo, and your marketing geniuses.

Thomas William Slattery has filed a class action suit against Apple Computer Inc. in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging Apple is guilt of violating federal antitrust laws and California's unfair competition law by requiring users who buy music from the iTunes Music Store to use an iPod if they plan to take their music on the road with them. Slattery's suit cuts to the heart of an ongoing issue related to Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology present in commercial downloaded music.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I doubt he'll win. Somebody more lawyerly than me will need to confirm this, but my understanding is that it applies more to either a horizontal monopoly (i.e. iTunes was the ONLY means of downloading music legally, or the iPod was the ONLY portable digital music player) or a more complete vertical monopoly (They also owned the record company, and only allowed that record company to release music via iTunes).
