Hiya Buxfizz,

(I am new here so I hope people don't mind me responding ?)

As Peter said the TiVo Desktop is very flakey.

I found that I had to buy a long and very ugly Ethernet cable to connect my PC to my TiVo and although I am no longer wireless I have not had a single problem since.
An added bonus is that the files transfer alot faster now.

Cheers
Tara
