·Hi, just got my DirectTV installed today, but I have no landline, rather I am using Packet8 VOIP via Comcast *Shudders*... My packet8 will not allow the Receiver to place "The Final Step" call to enable my Tivo. I notice that there are 2 USB ports on the back of the reciever, and I also have a Linksys USB 802.11b adapter from my first generation home network. I plug in the adapter, but it doesn't seem to do anything except power up.
Can I use this to get around "The final step" phone calls.. was thinking I might be able to use my wireless network to connect this receiver to the internet to get that final step completed?? and get the tivo updates that you all talk about?
Please let me know if this would work?
Also, are these usb ports useable? Can you connect the receiver to a Media Centre Computer to copy the recorded shows to my computer, so that it does nto waste the TIVO's space?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Brian
