You will have the cable modem connections- you don't want these
below it the ethernet connection details - these are the ones you want

I've actually given the Tivo a fixed IP, so will never change, you can do that within the settings on the Tivo box, instead of DHCP, just use fixed IP, you can set the last 2 digits to one that isn't being used by any other device.

I just plugged the TiVo in, downloaded the app and it works. I think its great, much better than the VM app which I find very slow and cumbersome.

Virgin won't connect TiVo to the SuperHub as it's not officially lauched yet, but you have to do so for the app to work

Cheers, took about 10 mins to get a local ip address

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 
Anyone know how to use this from an external ip address?
Ive put in port forwarding (1413) to the tivo's IP but it says it cannot be found.

Wanted to show the app to a few friends and colleagues who won't be visiting the house to see ot

Has the new FW update broken the Tivo Commander and messed up multiroom streaming/networking as well?

Had a browse on D/S denphone and it does seem with the new update they are trialing will strip the aility to network from TiVo and i guess all of the unofficiaL apps people are usng including the one posted on another forum section which gave the ability to use reminders on TiVo.:(

If they have they kept it very quite denphone think i read there were no updates imminent officially! Its only through a person reporting his ability to network had gone after an update that this has come to light at all.

Crafty devils.

And yes i am guessing people will not be overjoyed about it as no warning had been issued well none i have seen anyhow.
