TIVO & wireless usb dongle?

Hi. my tivo series 2 needs to be connected to the internet. rather than
plug a whole bunch of adapters, can i just one adapter like a
iogear/linksys usb wifi dongle?

i'd like to know from people with experience rather than use my time and
some pocket change to 'try and experiment'

thanks.

Do you mean something like this?

Its not from iogear or Linksys, but setting it up with a series 2 is nearly
a no brainer. I bought one as a Christmas gift for my parents and set it up
for them in about 5 minutes. The toughest part was figuring out which
access point was theirs out of the half dozen that Tivo found. Remembering
the password that was set on the AP was a bit tricky too. ;-)

Depends what your Tivo Series 2 (model) takes... I have 5 of them here, and
2 of them will ONLY take wired ethernet connections (ie cat5), other 3 have
USB ports and can use both the wireless-g from tivo, dlink usb wifi dongle,
linksys usb wifi dongle, and probably others, but I have working wireless
connections on three USB units, so can't see buying any more.....

Hi, thanks a bundle! i looked online and it looks as through a local
big box storehas a few (although i loathe going to those kind of
stores).

thanks again!
