I got the powerline ethernet blocks to work with ease last night. Setup took about 5 minutes, most of which was spent moving a bookshelf to find a free outlet. Who’d have thought that the solution to a most modern of problems was solved using wiring from 1938?

If your problem is the wireless router connected to your Tivo, is there a wired connection solution? Could you connect the Tivo through a wired router to a desktop terminal and then use this machine to securely broadcast the Tivo signal wherever you wish it to go, wireless or not? You may need another network adapter on the desktop of course and some simple wiring since you may not be able to use those in your home.

You should be able to find, I think, a great many wired routers old or new for very cheap or even free. Or will the wired router have the same driver support issues as the wireless router. All of this kind of sounds like Tivo needs to work out a solution.

Please educate me.

“I only need enough to tide me over until I need more.”

Actually, the one nice thing about TiVo, is the fact that the television we do watch is actually stuff we want to watch. No more just surfing because we’re sitting in front of the tube. It kind of allows us to still enjoy the good stuff that’s worth our precious time, and completely and utterly ignore the rest of the stuff out there.

Example: I haven’t had to sit through a commercial in ages.

I agree that television can be a fruitless waste of time, but Angela tells me that our broadband connection is the same. What we’ve attempted to do is limit our intake and make what we do watch worth the time spent.

That being said, please give me just another 30 minutes, mister, please! I need it real bad!
