5.0 out of 5 stars Stand-Alone and DirecTiVo Users Rejoice!, August 30, 2005

This review is from: Netgear FA120 10/100 USB 2.0 Adapter (Personal Computers)

I have bought 5 of these for TiVos that have been hacked. They work instantly and perfectly on Hughes and Samsung Generation 2 DirecTiVos and on TiVo brand Generation 2 stand-alone TiVos.

Unlike the Linksys USB200M, the Ethernet cable is in no danger of falling off the adaptor and the cable at both ends allows for some flexibility in the placement of the adapter, rather than just plugged into the USB ports in the rear of the TiVo units, making it easy to place it so you can check if the lights are on (mine burned out during a lightning strike and I didn't have to pull the TiVo out of the rack to check up on it.

The product also has good fit and finish, which cannot be said for all products in this category and may matter to some.

This is too easy!! If you have a TIVO Series 2 and want to hard wire, use the Netgear FA120.

I bought this just for the fact of hooking an ethernet cable to my Tivo for internet hookup. The wire worked with no problem so I'm very happy with this product. This wire will contribute to updating your Tivo in less than ten minutes.
