MacNN reader Alex King has his Series 2 TiVo to his AirPort network (for retrieving the TiVo show data). "This lets your TiVo stay connected all the time, no need to have it attached to a phone line for its daily call." His instructions are now available.

The DirectTV Tivo combination wont do this though, if you have that then you still have to have a phone connection as they have temporarily disabled the USB ports on it. This is to keep folks from doing this and then not being able to call in for the Direct TV side of things :(
Does ReplayTV support 802.11b?
I connected a Linksys WAP to my toilet
Get a ReplayTV it is so much better on a home network. It is easier to hack also. Take a look at MacReplayTV web site

What I have heard that people do is to simply hook one of those devices that has wireless and an ethernet port on it. It's sort of an add-on device that gives non-wireless devices wireless access. They say it works fine.
Because the Replay is a tcp device with ethernet, you can do tons of stuff with it.
