How do I get shows from my tivo to pc when I'm away from home?

Question

I am a new college student and discovered that my dorm room does not have cable. I ordered the TiVo wireless adapter and set it up on my home network to download shows onto my computer. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work if the computer is not at my house. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Answer 1

The ONLY way to get programs from your TiVo to your PC if they aren't on the same network is by using a Slingbox connected to the TiVo. It will essentially allow you to control the TiVo remotely and stream shows to the PC. Check out www.slingmedia.com
