Slingbox and Tivo review delayed

After I got my Tivo and slingbox effectively working together, I hit a wall. I only had one ethernet port dedicated for my setup. However, both the Tivo and Slingbox needed to have their own connection. I ordered a wireless internet adapter for the Tivo to solve the problem. At least it solved only that problem. Apparently, the wireless adapter for the Tivo was causing interference with my VPN (Virtual Private Network) on my work laptop. Thus I get kicked off on my working applications. I was lucky to have found this problem during the weekend where it didn't cause any impacts on my work. The only way I could resolve this issue is if I hard wire the Tivo to the router but I do not have enough ports for both the Tivo and the Slingbox and I only had one Cat5 cable snaked into my room (router is located in another part of the house). Since I work at home a lot, I had to make the sacrifice. I took out the wireless adapter and plugged the wire that was previously connected to the Slingbox into the Tivo. I figured I don't need to use the Slingbox functionality now and I will connect everything back up when I quit my job in a couple of months. As for now, I am enjoying my Tivo. I finally figured out why it recorded all these random programs. There was a default setting to let Tivo record recommended programs when there is a lot of space in the box. Unfortunately, some of the shows they recommended to me was Bonanza and a Spanish talk show. I turned it off and have been happy since.

In other news, my co-worker in ATL messaged me that he wanted a "byte" to eat. Of course this was unintentional. I was laughing so hard. I think he needs to get out more and stop hanging out with the systems too much hehe.
