Just off of the phone with the Tivo people. Lots of questions but they were helpful.
I need a WiFi box that is USB, not the cat 5 one I have. Not a problem, Fry's is just down the street and they are not that expensive these days.
Asked about V7.1 of the software which allows you to install a hard drive of anything under 250 megs. You have to ask for it, and then its shuttled to your Tivo box during the nightly downloads. Did so and am scheduled for this in the next 3 days. Asked them why it was not just done for everyone and they said it will, but not right now. If you ask for it the upgrade will happen sooner.
The Tivo Desktop. Found it thanks to the link and the Tivo guy told me that once I have WiFi and the desktop that I can copy programs to my computer. Asked him if I can do anything with then after that and he laughed and said yes. We both know that I want to make copies to DVD but he cannot or would not talk about that.
Has anyone used http://www.weaknees.com/ for Tivo upgrades? Looks like a good site and lots of nice upgrades there. One takes my 40 hour box up to 900 hours! http://www.weaknees.com/tivo_series2_tcd540040.php
