No problems with any of the new apps for HME except Podcaster, which appears to begin the download but never seems to complete or play.
I am behind a physical firewall; do I need to NAT something back to the TiVo?
Is there a FAQ definitely describing all port usage?

BTW: hooked on the word game...constantly trying to outdo my wife, and she me

Same problem here with PodCasts, except one. I can get one of the Music related casts to work. I called support a week ago or so and they didn't have a clue "the feature was too new to troubleshoot" I'm due to give them another call and see if they have come up with anything.

Been having the same issue for the last couple of weeks (at least).

Live365.com works just fine, only Podcaster doesn't. Gets stuck on "Loading..." and then never plays.

I too am behind a physical firewall. Are there any ports that I must port forward to allow it to work properly?

I can get every "preset" podcast to work, just not URL's i enter myself. They show up but also just say "Loading..."

Hi,
I've been having 2 kinds of problems with the podcaster on my Tivo Series 3.

First, I get the infinite hang issues mentioned previously on several podcasts. I checked the DNS settings and they are just fine, re-DHCP'd my network settings just to be sure and the result was no change. The same podcasts are just fine with itunes. Interesting...

Second, on some podcasts (like 60 minutes or wait-wait-don't-tell-me from npr) I get a connection and total time. Within a few seconds I get the "donk" sound like trying to move past the bottom of a list with the remote, the loading spinny thing goes away and the podcast is hung with played time displaying 00:00.

The second issue is the more severe and it seems worse with V9.2a of the tivo firmware

I'd really like to get these resolved.

I too am seeing this behavior with my series 3.
Many podcasts just go bonk! However, the very same podcasts play just fine from my Series 2... hmmmm.

No one else seeing this?
