My Tivo is not near a phone jack, so I decided to go wireless, network connection. I already have a small wireless network set up to share my CAT5-based 'net connection. However, I did not realize (until today) the wireless access point box I've been using is an 802.11a, not the 802.11b that Tivo requires.
So, I got the WUSB12 "pen-style" wireless adapter (as recommended by Tivo) but still need to buy an 802.11b wireless access point box. Linksys makes one, the WAP11, which should do the trick. I'll know in the next day or so. Yes, I do have the latest Tivo software, 4.x something.
Also, I've already decided after only having Tivo for a couple of days to go ahead and pay the lifetime subscription fee. However, I'm not sold on the Home Media Option. I don't have a sound system hooked up to my TV, no .mp3 files on my computer, and really don't see much value in displaying photos on the TV. The remote, 'net-based scheduling feature seems kewl, but not sure it alone is worth the $100. Now if the wife becomes a Tivo user and we put another unit upstairs, I think having Home Media Option to share recordings between the units would make the deal okay.
