This weekend at Best Buy you get a free 3 month service gift card. So we talked Nicole’s parents into getting one and I set it up for them last night.

In addition to the TiVo, we needed to buy them a wireless phone jack adapter, because they didn’t have a phone jack near their TV.

In my ideal world, the folks who use this killer packaging would be prosecuted and forced to open this packaging all day.

Setting up the wireless phone jack was a snap. The base plugs into an outlet and a working phone jack. The extension unit then plugs into another outlet near the TiVo and a phone cord goes from the extension unit to the TiVo.

Then I moved the furniture a bit, plugged in the TiVo, and proceeded with Guided Setup.
