My TiVo Branded Wireless 802.11G Adapter Is On The Way

TiVo Branded 802.11G Wireless AdapterSince the Sopranos are starting up soon, I decided to stop by my local Adelphia office and pick up a digital box. I’m so cheap that I only get HBO while the Sopranos are on ;) . Now that I have a digital box, I moved our TiVo into the main living room. Unfortunately, this room does not have a network run and I don’t feel like running one since we’ll be moving out of this house in less then two months. Without a network drop, my only other option for broadband connectivitiy is to go wireless.

I just placed an order for one of those TiVo branded wireless adapters. I could have gone with one of the other cheaper adapters on the recommended adapter list however, I’ve heard good things about this adapter and ever since it came out, I’ve wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately, the adapter is on backorder so I’ll have to wait a little while. I’m willing to wait because a number of people that I respect (Dave Zatz, Mostly Muppet) have said good things about it. I’ll let everybody know how well it performs as soon as it arrives. I plan on running a couple of tests to see how long it takes me to transfer a show wirelessly as opposed to using my current wired setup. Stay tuned…

    You were right to go with the branded ones. I bought 2 off the approved list, and when they didn’t work I had a not-pleasant conversation with Tivo support that — in the end — worked out great in that they sent us a free Tivo-branded adapter. And it works flawlessly.

  • Tom,
    How has it performed for your? Are you happy with the transfer rate?

    Tom,

    I ordered mine Feb. 24th. If you get your adapter before mine, we are SO in a fight!
