RE: Tivo urban legends

["Ray Barnett" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

I've just tested it. My ADSL connection is a wires only install, using an ASUS AAM6000EV router.

 

Tested as follows:

 

Plug in laptop = ADSL works.

Dial out from laptop - connect at 46kbps = ADSL works.

 

Plug in TIVO (using exactly the same cable for reference) = successful pings to a remote machine drop to about 80%, web surfing no longer works.

Dial out from TIVO = ADSL line loses sync, no Internet connectivity at all.

TIVO finishes call = ADSL line still has no sync.

Unplug TIVO from phone line = ADSL line resyncs.

 

Draw your own conclusions, but mine is that Tivo does something unpleasant to my ADSL connection, and means I cannot leave Tivo plugged in for longer than it takes to download programme guide data.

 

Note for people keen to praise or slate Tivo: it means I have an easy justification for the £45 it will cost to add a web interface to Tivo in the form of the Turbonet card :-D

 

Ray.

Well looks like I was wrong and it isnt an urban legend ;)

 

As a matter of interest of those who work and those who don't who is on USB and who is on ethernet adsl?

I get exactly the same thing with my ADSL Line, plug the tivo in and booom adsl drops the connect – an the sky digital box and my laptop modem work fine on my adsl line.

there is no logic to this and it seems to indicate a problem with either your Tivo cable (are you using the supplied one?) or the set up of your adsl line. Does an ordinary analogue modem work with the analogue port on the adsl line?

I use TIVO on the analogue port of my ADSL line. Simply plugging TIVO in kills my ADSL connection dead. Physically disconnecting TIVO from the phone line restores the ADSL connection.

Just splitting this into a seperate thread....

 

I have never heard of anyone having problems with the tivo on the analogue port of adsl lines and Tivo actually defaults to v34  operation (you have to force it to use v90) so you are unlikely to have problems.

 

A comment was made about Tivo using caller id, I am not certain on this but I am nearly sure I have had Tivo running on both my BT and NTL lines. I will reconfigure things on my pabx to check this tomorrow....and yes tivo does work through a PABX before someone asks.
