Perhaps not the best example. That bug was in hardware-specific code written from scratch for the VM TiVo.
But anyway, it was fixed long since.

But in reality they'll try to use wireless from one end of the house to the other through 5 brick walls and with all sorts of interference. Or that old 10baseT hub they have lying around. Or they'll decide the Ethernet cable isn't quite long enough, buy another from Poundland, and knot them together.
And when it doesn't work they'll ring up VM, shouting "Your TiVo is crap, give me a discount or I'll write to Watchdog!"

"I'm sorry Mr Muppet, you've failed the VM networking exam, we won't let you connect your TiVos".
Can't see that going down too well.
