When I first used the powerline adaptors I didn't use an ethernet cable. Can anyone explain this to me? Why did I need a powerline in the first place? But, it seems to be working without the powerline adaptors. I was using the powerline adaptors to download my shows, etc. The one thing I am worried about is that I had to take my powerline adaptor out of the Tivo ethernet port to put in the ethernet cable instead. Now that I have connected the ethernet directly to the Tivo it's downloading everything.

So I connected the Ethernet cable to my smart TV itself yesterday, and all was well except for Tivo not recognizing it. I think that adaptor went bad because the TV said I wan't connected to the internet and Tivo stopped connecting on 9/4/20. Makes sense, but it worked before by being in the ethernet adaptor I had attached to my Amazon Firestick. The CS rep had me take the ethernet cable out of my TV and put it into the Tivo itself.

I called Tivo back today because no one called me when they said they would.

I want to update everyone on what's happening. KMTTG can provide those details, even while the TiVo is being used: I reboot and all is well unless I use search. That's when nothing pops up and it all seems to disconnect from the internet. I can download programs and everything seem to be working until I use the search feature. I also got the message they there was no gateway to be found or some such language. In trying to find out why I can't connect, I clicked on various links on Tivo, and after trying to connect got the message that they couldn't find the DHCP server. My Smart TV connects to wi-fi and my ethernet cable just fine. All my digital devices are connecting to the wifi just fine. I called Tivo, but they said it was my router, and they want to do a conference call between me, Tivo and TP-Link tomorrow. In the meantime, you can watch live TV, recordings, and on demand shows. Don't worry-we'll have things back to normal shortly. Having it with two of three units says to me it's a pretty widespread defective equipment problem.'There is a temporary problem with the connection to the TiVo Service.

Having this problem with one unit, it could have been a fluke. By this time, I had a lot of shows recorded and decided that as I had 'fixed' the problem with tape, I'd not push the issue for now. After a few weeks I finally called and they of course said they didn't have any record of saying they would send the replacement first. They never did this, instead they sent me an email authorization to return my bad unit several days later when I should have been receiving the replacemet (which email I didn't see right away). I contacted TiVo support on the initial unit and they said they would send me a replacement box and I could then send the bad unit back. This occurred on initial setup of new boxes. I have to pull the cable to one side and tape it there to get a reliable connection. Another problem I have is that the ethernet sockets on two of my TPs are 'bad.' If you just plug the cable in, the connection is intermittent. Going into the Network settings in the menu usually gets rid of the problem.

However, when I check on my PC with Network Magic, it says that the units are connected. I've had the same problem with my hard-wired TP units.
