Well, I see two solutions: 1. Hack the DirecTiVos to enable networking. Vendors like WeaKnees.com and PTVUpgrade.com sell drives and/or software kits that make it easy to do. And there are more complex do-it-yourself approaches. 2. Wait until later this year when the Series3 ships and switch to digital cable. It has support for digital cable, as well as ATSC, for HD, dual tuners, and all the TiVo networking features. -MZ -- <URL:mailto:megazoneatmegazone.org> Gweep, Discordian, Author, Engineer, me.
