Default Tivo serial cable ?

Anyone got one I can borrow for a couple of days ?

Can't get the turbonet card on the network and I'm getting p*ssed off repeatedly pulling the disc.

Postage refunded + drink etc etc ..

Cheers
Steve

Steve, I haven't got one, but I presume you've got your tivo networked? If so, is it possible to watch tivo recorded programs on a pc anywhere in the networked house? 4 pc's, one tivo, record show on tivo, watch upstairs on pc?
cheers,

yes, you can pull the files off the tivo and easily convert them to mpeg2 ( tystudio will do it on the fly )

That's one of the reasons I want it. I need to rid my tivo of the eleventy million episodes of Dora the Explorer so it stops deleting my Stargate episodes

why can't you get the TiVo networked? Can we help with that as I don't have a serial cable?

I've pulled the A disc, installed the turbonet card , copied over the /var/hack stuff for later, configured telnet to start from both hda7 and hda4 partitions , run the installer and set it up on the right subnet with a fixed address.... won't even ping at the moment.

I've checked the network point by plugging a laptop in and that's fine... just need to get at the logs to see what it's complaining about.
