(I’d like to put down more than these mundanities, but wanted to close the door on this topic, for now.) Earlier this week, I learned from the TiVo Community Forum that the lack of support for the 2.8 version of the Linksys USB wireless adapter in the TiVo software was the problem. TiVo wouldn’t recognize the adapter, and the TiVo site wasn’t clear enough on the fact that they recommended the 2.6 version (which is no longer for sale!) because the later version wouldn’t work with their software. Anyway, I requested an upgrade (beta, I think), and got it sometime Tuesday night… and everything worked like a charm yesterday. So one unsightly phone cord strung across the room and under the rug is gone. Given the extra work that went into connecting all the A/V equipment correctly, I sure hope this wireless thing keep taking over for cords. Our built-in cabinets are great for everything except mucking with the endless connections. Admission: we got help from “Gene, the stereo guy” — quite reasonable rates and helpful. One less thing for me to worry about when I get home.
Writing here reminds me that most people (including me) could use an editor. Oh well!
