I could be wrong with this....I may not fully understand the problem...so straighten me out where my thinking is incorrect.
Tivo seems to be able to update the software on their whim...with very few problems.
Most network adapters dont work because the drivers are not loaded onto the tivo by the end user and Tivo cant possilbly keep up with all of the changes on all of the various manufacturers' adapters.
So...what im proposing is this....why cant Tivo just choose, say, 2 major manufactures (ie LInksys & DLink etc) and keep those drivers up to date on the machines? As a new adapter comes out from one of these manufacturers, Tivo can send out the new driver as part of a routine update....
Is this not possible? Im guessing this has already been proposed by some of you long term users....but....I was just thinking...
