Any way to connect TiVo through computer or cellphone?
I need to connect my TiVo (Series 2) to get program information, but my apartment building administration won’t give me the password for the wireless Internet. I don’t have a phone line. Is there any way to connect TiVo through a laptop (with wireless access) or somehow through a cell phone?

Yea you can make a ad-hoc wireless network with your laptop and connect your cell phone to it, its pretty complicated though. Here’s an overview of the vital steps:
Tether your cell phone to computer
Make adhoc network
give the tivo access
*Two problems value mentioning though with the setup
- tethering your cell phone might violate your TOS with your cell carrier
- you need your computer on for it to work!!
*if your laptop has wireless access already just extract the pw and use it in the tivo
