I don't know if this goes under the option of stealing or not but I am going to ask the question anyway. Is there a way to use the usb port to connect to your network with out getting the hmo? I could care less about the other options that come with it, I would just like to have the option to make the daily call through my cable modem which is faster then dialup.:confused:

That ability is supported without buying HMO. No stealing needed.

FWIW, I just setup my Series2 with a Linksys WUSB12 and it was very easy.

CELESTPROF,

did you get HMO or just bought the WUSB12 and plugged it in?

thanks

Posted by: celestprof

Just the WUSB12.

I live in a 1 room apartment. Not much sense in me getting the HMO! ;)

Posted by: Spence

I just hooked up my new 80hr Series 2 to my network, no problem at all - NO HMO here! When I plugged in the USB adapter, I immediatley got a pop up on the Tivo saying it had detected a network card.:)

Can you do anything else besides connect to tivo via your home network? I have a cable modem and a WAP, just wondering... getting the USB12 this week.

Thanks...

Just wondering if this will work with a Hughes Tivo unit HDVR2? Also do you have to use DHCP? I have assigned IP's to my computers so they don't grab different IP's everytime the power blinks. BTW I have a Linksys access point. Thanks.

Will NOT work on an unmodified HDVR2 (or DSR7000, or any other combo box).

BSNelson - You mentione it won't work with a DSR 7000? How about a DSR 6000? I am thinking about purchasing a DSR 7000. But want to make sure I can connect it to the LAN.

Posted by: Sarge3515

Where can I find the modification to make this work on a HDVR2?

Posted by: bsnelson

Sorry.. I meant that it won't work on any series 2 combo box (there's more than just Hughes and Philips now). It WILL work on a DSR6000, that's a series 1 box, but the DSR7000 is a series 2, and it will NOT work on that box.

Sarge, I think I misspoke. I don't believe there's even a working hack to do the daily call through LAN on the series 2 combos. Other stuff, perhaps, but not the daily call. :)

So this will not work for my samsung sir-s4120 DTiVo?
