Installing a network card in a Tivo stops the unit from trying to use the
modem. AFAIK there is currently no workaround so all updates have to be
done
over the network. Furthermore, if your ISP uses a transparent proxy as mine
does (NTL) you may have to alter /tvlib/tcl/tv/Ident.itcl otherwise updates
over the net wont work either!
Also, I seem to remember reading that the daily call over the network will
fail if the phoneline is plugged in.

What problem would that be then Justin? I was just planning to let it
continuing dialing out via the phone line. Will it have reconfigured itself
to use the Turbonet card?

Video extraction – bring it on J

It's the business isn't it!
I installed a TurboNet card & TivoWeb last night. One thing I forgot
about
was the problem that exists with transparent proxies and updates over the
net, other than that it was a piece of cake!

Next step is video extraction... looks like a bit of a nightmare though!

Just to share with fellow Tivo Owners

Installed TurboNet in my TiVo over the lunch hour – the joys of
working from
home. Install was a breeze except for getting that damm lid off!

Ping OK
Telnet OK
FTP OK

Downloaded and installed TivoWeb. Ran it up and bingo – web access
to all
the screens of my TiVo – Now Showing, Season Passes, the lot.
I’ve also
discovered that you can edit the program information and it is displayed
>from
called “Horizon – A6 Murder”. Now I’ll be able
to maintaining and organise
my rapidly expanding Now Playing list (120GB Drive already in). If I find
out any more gems (or pitfalls) I’ll keep you posted.

Deep Joy!

Don
