TiVo setup

I have our TiVo 95% setup.

The Good:

1. I can do that TiVo thing

The Bad:

1. No RJ-45 input?!? You have to either 1) purchase a separate USB to Ethernet adapter 2) use a standard phone line (this would be a pain as we have digital phone service and only 1 “live” phone jack on the other side of the house. Plus the feed would be slow as hell) or 3) purchase a wireless USB adapter. I opted for #3.
2. TiVo doesn’t support WPA-PSK
3. Had to encrypt my network using WEP
4. Had to reconfigure iBook for WEP
5. Had to reconfigure HP DV1040 notebook for WEP (that was a major PITA – took me half an hour)
6. Had to reconfigure Aiport Express for WEP by hardwiring to the router and a manual restart (this walkthrough helped)
7. Had to reconfigure second Airport Express (see above)
8. TiVo doesn’t have a universal remote code for my Quasar model TV Cover TiVo remote with hand, Hold down the TiVo and TV POWER buttons simultaneously until the red light on the remote control remains on, enter code 0999, press Channel Up button 463 times until TV turns off. Press Enter
9. Currently no TiVo Desktop for OS X 10.4
