So, do you have to have a Tivo account to use this? I just need a wireless adapter for a second computer in my house.

Should work for you! Not associated with tivo account just ompatible with certain tivo devices

No, I tried buying a wireless LAN adapter first but it didn't work for me so I had to buy Panasonic's. The packaging on my home theater was deceptive & their customer service was completely incompetent - they lost a customer. I hope you have better luck...

You only need one per home unless a second internet account exists. If there's no wiring upstairs for connecting a computer, get yourself a wireless access point.

If you use WPA encryption only the TiVo branded N router will work I believe. You can find more info on the TiVo Support page by searching for wireless adapters.

Yes. The Tivo Wireless N Adapter is a general purpose device that will work. You simply set it up on your PC first and then attach it to the Ethernet port on the player. You are up and running.

Use Ethernet over Powerline. One plug by your WiFi router. One by the Tivo Mini. 2 Enet cables. Done.

After trying to get Tivo to work with wireless adapters I finally just conceded to purchasing Tivo's adapter. Have to say that was the best decision, easy install, Tivo's all work perfectly. Just spend a few extra and get Tivo's adapter and you'll be a happy camper.

Your best bet is to check out the forums at the independent Tivo Community web sitehttp://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/

No. The TiVo and cable box won't interoperate. If you have two or more TiVo's in your house, then they can see each other, and act as a single multi-room DVR.One other consideration for TiVo: you will not be able to access your cable companies' On Demand programming via the TiVo box. I felt that the benefits of the TiVo outweighed the On Demand functionality, but it is still something to consider when deciding to purchase a TiVo.

You can contact TiVo and they will send you one for the same price as the whole set in store. It's stupid. Buy a non-TiVo adapter and you will be much better off. I picked up a Netgear N600 WNCE3001 and have never had a problem, unlike w/ the overpriced TiVo one.

I don't believe so. This adaptor allows your Tivo to connect with your router/cable modem wirelessly - and record internet programs. You would need a wireless network in your home to connect to. I believe Tivo is discontinuing dial up calling. You need broadband - some kind of cable or DSL modem. Or possibly Uverse or Fios type connections to the internet.

I use a Netgear network extender. It communicates wirelessly with the router and sets up a second hot spot, however, the Tivo is wired directly to the Netgear extender. It works fine.

Hi Stepeh. This adapter is plug And Play for Windows and Linux Operating Systems. Tivo Series 2 not recognize this device.

I don't have a TIVO, but I think you should be able to use line (A/V outputs and inputs (out from TIVO, in to ES15). That's the yellow, white red connectors. Good luck. Bob in TN

It only works "as-is" by connecting a landline. However, for my unit I connected a TiVo wi-fi adapter (separate purchase of about 50 bucks on Amazon) and it connects wirelessly that way. In my opinion, it is definitely worth the investment in the wireless adapter.

The only adapter I have connected is the Time Warner adapter, with the cable card. My TiVo box is hard wired w a Cat 5 to my Clear Wire Internet box. I'm able to access NetFlix, Pandora, Hulu & more w no problem and watch streaming TV.

No, it connects to your wireless router to provide the Tivo guide and functionality. My cable provider rents the Tivo and it must either be connected to the internet or wirelessly to the router. I found out the hard way it stops working in a location without the internet connection. If you don't have a wireless router, get a 300 speed unit. I have a 150 and there is some lag time to load the Tivo menus.
