A little pricey - you can get them for less online.

You’re correct, a number of places have it for ~$45.

I’ve noticed BB seems to overprice just about everything. Good to see the adapter finally being offered in retail outlets, though.

yeah.. that price sucks. Find a Radio Shack near by. Got one for 49.00 with tax and they had plenty in stock.

The NetGear USB wireless adapter is cheaper and much smaller.
I’ve been using one for almost two years without a hitch.

And the Netgear doesn’t support WPA/WPA2, plus transfers are MUCH slower on non-TiVo adapters. And you have to track down the specific make, model, and revision or it won’t work.
Just get the TiVo adapter so you can actually secure your network. (WEP isn’t secure.)

Why should I have to buy a proprietary adapter to get industry-standard encryption like WPA? You’re right, WEP isn’t secure.

Paul,
The TiVo adapter is designed with an on-board processor which off-loads the network processing from the TiVo itself, including the encryption. WPA/WPA2 takes more processing than WEP, and the bottleneck is already the TiVo’s CPU. With the TiVo adapter they do the work on the adapter, which allows them to *both* support WPA/WPA2 *and* greatly increase throughput. It may be possible to support WPA on other adapters, but it would be in the TiVo’s CPU and that would greatly *decrease* performance, which is already a bit slow.
