Just connect it, reboot, and it works.  But, you need a working DHCP 
server on you network.   Also, tivo's server do not seems to be up all 
the time, so I have had problems with getting my guide data.  So I have 
switch it back to the phone, other than just getting the guide data, it 
does nothing else yet.

Tivo has just released there 3.2 software.  So, I hope it will have some 
new stuff like the mp3 misic and other things.   We will see.

The only problem with tivo is it cost me $12.95 a month.   And if I want 
a second tivo its another $12.95 a month.   And all they are giving me is 
guide data.

If the 2rd, 3rd,...  tivo's only cost me $2 each more a month, I would 
have one in each room and I might not be building a MythTV box.
