And my last question (for today!) - Is it normal that you can't get into the recorder/phone setup ? - I think I read somewhere that you can only get in there when it is in NTSC mode. Is there anything in there I need to adjust or setup after it is all going? - I know I can force a daily call via TiVoWeb.

Ok, my very last question now .... What NAT port do I use on my router to allow me to access my TiVo (at home) from my browser (at work) - that's assuming woosh can give me a static ip address for home first !

Cheers for helping out a newbie. I had my first TiVo experience last night and it rocked.

Phone menu: yeah, you gotta be in NTSC or PAL/GS mode to get at it. You can do the switch in Tivoweb. But it should all be automagic; check the phone menu in TivoWeb after a few days and it will tell you if it called OK.

You're on Macs, are you not? If so, and there's a mac running at home as well as the office, you'd be best off to use ssh. On the home mac, do SystemPrefs, Sharing, and enable Remote Login. Then on the NAT router forward TCP port 22 to the Mac's IP addy. Finally, from work, use this command in Terminal.app:

ssh {usernameOnHomeMachine}@{homeNATRouterExternalAddr ess} -C -L 8080:{tivoInternalIPAddress}:80

Enter password when asked (and say yes when it asks about accepting the host key), then point your web browser at work to http://localhost:8080 and you'll have a secure encrypted compressed tunnel to the tivo.

(all this works on windoze too, but I don't know the tools as well)
