These are good products, I've used them in other settings. But the new Tivo (Series 2) does not have an Ethernet port, nor does it have a PCI slot to add an ethernet adapter. Tivo is promoting the easy broadband setup by using off-the-shelf USB adapters.
Raiding many stores and returning unused products is an unusual workaround. And I wouldn't call it easy until you know that's what you need to do. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Carlin Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 7:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SOCALWUG] linksys usb You can also use an Ethernet wireless thingie that needs no driver support...
