Q about USB 802 for Pioneer DVR-810H-s

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?)

I just bought this Tivo Series 2 DVR last night. It seems to work just fine
with phone line. It successfuly upgrade SW version to 5.2.2... But after I
plug in a Motorola WU830G in the USB port, nothing has happened. The light
is on all right. But no setting in "Phone and Network" that suggests I can
enable Home network. Do I need to buy 1 of those "suggested/verified"
802.11 adaptor to get this Tivo DVR to open up that portion of menu
settings?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I guess I am not sure if my Tivo-DVR responds
properly after I have plugged in the yet-supported adaptor. I saw no option
or indication that it ever recognize this adaptor, that's why I am puzzled.
Is that true that until I plug in a supported adaptor, those menu will be
hidden?

Thanks again.
