A number of people seem to have lost the ability to view Photos and Music on their Macs with their Tivo due to a bug. The Tivo sees the network, can get schedule updates, but doesn’t seem to be able to use the Home Media option with Macs on the network. I have [...]
I’m in the midst of putting high speed WiFi throughout my entire forty-nine unit apartment building (more on that in a future post) and in doing so have been testing a bunch of WiFi equipment to see what is going to make this both easy and possible. When I lived in Spanish Harlem I [...]
