Go to Tivo settings, Phone and Network, change the connection type to Network if it didn't already when you plugged in the NIC, then setup wireless & tcpip settings. Very simple really. It does not support WPA encryption, only WAP, so mine is still on a phone line until the tivo software supports this.

thanks actually i noticed that it requires software version 4.0 or higher and i am and 3.1.something and after 4 straight daily calls it isn't upgrading
my main reason for doing this is that i want to be able to move the video recorded on my tivo over to the computer 's hard drive so i can then burn it to dvd is this even possible or am i wasting my time? thanks again for all the help |

No, I'm afraid thats not possible with the Tivo Software. You could use a settop DVD burner like a VCR and do it that way, but obviously that requires buying a settop box.

The only uses for the adaptor are music and photo streaming to your tv/receiver and streaming programs from one tivo to another.

well if you can stream the video from one tivo to the other why not to the computer instead of a tivo? there has got to be a way to do this.

I guess there may be a hack available, but i doubt it. Tivo are under the gun when it comes to people being able to share programs.
