    I was pleasantly surprised to see the C|net download starting early on a Friday evening, but when I went to play it...stone silence. Anyone else?
    It's the "Gifts for Dads" installment with all the cool electronic toys, killing me that I can't hear it.

    I called TiVo CS and was patched through to Network Support and at first the tech wanted to blame dropped packets, but then realized I have a wired adapter. He said the audio portion of the file was dropped, which made sense to me, but then I thought about it and figured there had to be some kind of checksum. I took his advice and unsubbed then resubbed. See what happens.

    I also had a problem opening the same offering. Tivo unit froze and had to reboot.

    Did you try to play it again, scorpio, or were you a little gunshy after the reboot?

    Gun shy....of course :) I figured I wouldn't press my luck twice in one evening. Although I did see one CNET show the previous week that started with the review of Mobiblu 153 mp3 player. Had no problems with that one.

    I had the same "no audio" experience as bidger. I have a wireless adapter. I got the previous week's show with no problem. I'll try the unsub, resub suggestion and see what happens. If it works, thanks in advance for saving me the hassle of calling customer service!

    I've yet to receive another download, so I don't think the "unsub/resub" was an effective workaround.

    Same. I did, although, have a show recording and another show downloading from my PC to the Tivo. I thought that's what did it, but I'm relieved to see some other people having the same problem. Hopefully we'll see the fixed file pushed to our Tivos soon.

    The Cnet bits are exactly what Tivo needs. More stuff where I "subscribe" and stuff just shows up on my Tivo. I don't think about it, but it just shows up and I'm jonesin to check it out.
