Tivo Movie Downloads

[CarolynInTally]

I just tried the new Tivo/Amazon movie download, and I have come across one problem; I have to restart my Tivo for the movie to begin to download on my box. Has anyone else come across this problem, or maybe someone knows why this is happening?

It sounds like your DHCP network address for your Tivo has expired when you ask for the movie download on amazon.

When you re-boot the Tivo, it requests a DHCP address and if one is not already assigned by your router or DHCP server, a new one is granted for the Tivo.

If you know how to get into the admistrator functions of your router, you might be able to change the expiration time for DHCP addresses. There is probably an option in the router to display the currently assigned DHCP addresses.
