i have the tivo set up for recording shows and all
that works like a charm and is awesome
but i have problem with what i really want to do with it
i am running xp with IE
i have a basic wired network
internet to router
router to pc and tivo
tivo is able to go online via internet
pc recognizes tivo in the netowrk
if i add the tivo ip to my adderess bar it recognizes it
the tivo doesnt recognize my pc
i had to download software tivo desktop 2.2
i downloaded the file
went through the installation steps until it gets to the final step
then i get an error messege about the tivo beacon saying it is waiting for the tivo beacon and it may be unistalled
i tried these various things
*disabled my xp firewall(only one i have)
* turned off sp2 pop up blocker (only one i have)
*uninstalled reinstalled each time and also tried with different options checked for the tivo desktop application (conserning shortcuts etc.)
* went into my computer into manage and went to the tivo beacon application and started it manualy
*went into my system registry and added quotes to the tivo beacon system process (that was a step suggested by someone on a tivo messege board)
nothing works
and now i get a dial up connection messege when online
it has
connect to
user name
password
the only connect to option is dial up
i x it off and it makes me work offline
so i click on connect and it trys to dial but fails and i stay online
i need help
i called tech support at tivo
this idiot told me to uninstall tivo
search for *.tivo in my files
it found nothing
then reinstall tivo
and it didnt do anything still had the same problem
and thats all he had to offer
i asked him what else it could be
he said he wasnt a software engineer and told me that my computer cant finish installing the application because of viruses and spyware (cheap copout)
just to prove him wrong
i ran
*macafee virus scan online
*adaware and DL newest updates
*spybot and DL newest updates
*defragged my hard drive
*ran check disk
*cleaned up my system resources
all no probs
only thing is my HD only has 8% capacity left but thats still lts of room like 7 gigs of space
what else can i do
what is the dial up connection messege
how can i connect my tivo to my PC so i can stream music into my front room???!?!?!
there has to be some other type of option to fix this
help is greatly appreciated
