Can I use this with Comcast cable? I want to hard wire my Tivo Roamio to the internet but I need to do it via ethernet.

Yes and no, if you want to use it with Actiontec to act as a bridge using coax then yes. However, you can only use actiontec device only on the coax no other devices

I'll be honest --- I have tried the Wireless G and Wireless N Adapters and have concluded that neither works perfect. The Wireless G works better than the N --- but, if your TiVo is "too far" away from your router, neither works that good. I no longer use the Wireless N Adapter at all -- it was terrible -- I am using a Dual Band Network Repeater, but even with that device I still have connection problems when trying to watch a program on another DVR. If I had the option, I would run CAT-5 wire to every location and hard wire my TiVos. The Wireless N Adapter that is in use and works well is closer to the Router but is not in direct line of sight --- so my conclusion is the problem is distance and possibly "interference" with other devices.

It works with DSL(phone line) but not with cable(coax). If Comcast is a DSL connection it will work but otherwise I don't think it will connect.

I intend to replace the old TV with this Bravia. Thus, I just don't know how the wireless works. So I'd have to set up a Lynksys just for the TV and the Airport would run my 4 Macs and one PC? Can I do that? God forbid, do I have to have Comcast come in and do anything?? Thanks.

I use it with Cox cable and it works great. Just as good as the unit they rented me when I first signed up with Cox.

We have had the TiVo Premier XL4 HD Video recorder for almost a year and we are very pleased with the performance. We have COMCAST XFINITY bundle with cable, internet and telephone. We had to get a "card" from COMCAST to allow COMCAST and TiVo to work together. My best advice is to call the help desk at Tivo and ask them to help. Maybe you have a setting that is taking too many resources. Mine uses an adapter from TiVo for the wireless connection. It works better than the one I had earlier.

Sorry, I can't give you an accurate answer. My gut feeling is that since both TiVo and HDHomeRun are both tuners there could be some conflict. You may be able to make them work, but probably not the way you want it to. My HDHomeRun is directly connected to the cable and I use Microsoft Media Center for the DVR and other functions and it works very well in that configuration. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have a related but slightly different question. If I have Comcast and use this device as the transmitter (plugged into my router), can I use an old FiOS router in my living room as the receiver? Trying to determine if this would work so I can buy the single pack instead of the twin pack.

The Roamio Pro was my first TiVo box. I use a Roamio Mini in the bedroom, which does not require an additional cable card, but I can watch anything on the Roamio Pro through it. I believe that if you have all your TiVos connected to your home network, they will be able to share program information from a single box with a cable card. Check the TiVo user forums for other opinions.

The only adapter I have connected is the Time Warner adapter, with the cable card. My TiVo box is hard wired w a Cat 5 to my Clear Wire Internet box. I'm able to access NetFlix, Pandora, Hulu & more w no problem and watch streaming TV.

No. I do not have Comcast, but it works well with Brighthouse Cable. this has improved my signal throughout my house

For TiVo to function, it needs to be connected to the internet. I previously had my TiVo close enough to my modem that I used an Ethernet cable, now it is located in a different location and this device connects the TiVo to the internet wirelessly. Works great.

We could not get this to work with Time Warner Cable -- their techs spent over 4 hours at our home trying to get the digital local channels to record, eventually blaming it on our private wireless network router config (bullcrap) so we returned it. Sorry! (but if you have TWC, good luck!)

Yes, my cable provider is Comcast and they come into the house on regular TV cable that hooks directly to the back of the TiVo, along with ethernet, and outputs to the monitor. You can call TiVo directly or chat with them online if you have a different provider. They have excellent support staff.

Yes. Coax is preferred. Ethernet works but might not be supported by Dish (go to satelliteguys dot com for that). And then there's adding wireless to an existing Joey, or just buying a wireless Joey.

Yes you can. It will work very well. You need to configure it with your wireless router. It will be connected to usb on your tv for power and the other cable to Ethernet connection on your tv. No drivers needed, tv "thinks" it is connected to a wired network. I used it with my Panasonic tv. It works like a charm.

That is exactly what I did! I had to hard wire Samsung/TIVO to router to transfer programs. worked great!
