FYI: After hooking up my new tivo via telephone, I tried to set up the
wireless usb with my Verizon dsl modem/router. I ended up spending about 6
hours; the problem was with the wep encryption.

Actually, the first problem was with the wireless usb adapter that I bought
at Circuit City (a WUSB54GS, from LinkSys I think). It didn't work. So I
checked Tivo's list of approved adapters, and got a D-Link DWL-122 via the
internet. That started off fine - tivo detected the dsl network name - but
the setup couldn't be completed.

I eventually figured out that the wep was the problem; the dsl was using
alphanumeric which confused tivo. So I made both hexadecimal. Even then,
during the setup I had to remember not to select the high-lighted network
name; rather I had to click right to go to the next screen (to re-enter the
network name and then re-enter the wep code as well).

Now it works fine. Which is good; at one point I called Verizon's dsl help
line, and the guy there had never even heard of Tivo.
