Can I use broadband with my iiVo?
Dear TechnoFiles:
I have TiVo for my tele
vision that uses a dial-up
connection. I would like
for it to use my home
network with broadband
connection instead. Is
there a way to do this? -
JKR
Dear JKR,
You’re in luck - sort of.
There is a way to connect
your existing TiVo to your
home network, but it’s not
for the faint of heart. You
need to purchase an
Ethernet adaptor for your
TiVo and install it, which
• sounds simple enough, how
ever, by doing so you will
void your TiVo’s warranty
and run the risk of ruining
both it and the adaptor.
About the only name in
town for Ethernet adaptors
for TiVos is 9th Tee
Enterprises
(www.9thtee.com). They sell
a product called TurboNET,
which is the adaptor you
need to install in your TiVo.
The 9th Tee Enterprises
Web site has most, if not all

of the information you need
to conduct this installation
yourself. Check out the FAQ
pages for detailed instruc
tions. The adaptor itself
retails for $69.25, but you
might need some patch
cables and might decide to
upgrade the TiVo’s hard
drive while you’re at it. Of
course, you’ll pay more if
you need these extras.
A word of caution: The
TiVo has capacitors in it
that can store a very high
electrical charge even if the

power is turned off and the
box is unplugged. Be careful
and fully know what you’re
doing before you open the
case, Also, as the 9th Tee
Enterprises web site warns
“The use of the TurboNET
Board is experimental and
may not work with all
TiVo’s and may not work in
the future.” Proceed at your
own risk! Personally, I would
upgrade to a TiVo Series 2
box that is broadband ready.

Dear TechnoFiles:
I have three children
ages 6,9, and 12, and
they are all on the com
puter surfing the
Internet. Last night I
was helping my oldest
with some homework
research and up popped
some really inappropri
ate material out of
nowhere. Can you give
us parents some tips on
protecting kids on the
Internet? - Debra in Fort
Valley
Dear Debra:
The Internet is definitely
the biggest technological
revolution over the last
decade, but with all the good
comes plenty of bad: pornog
raphy, sexual predators, vio
lence, racist propaganda,
and fraudulent schemes and
advertising, just to name a
few. Here are some tips:

toring software on your
computer can help prevent

what happened to you. I like
Cybersitter at www.cybersit
ter.com ($39.99) because of
its wealth of features and
free updates. You can con
trol Internet access by date
and time, the filtering runs
in the background and Solid
Oak Software is good about
providing regular, free
updates that happen auto
matically. It even will log
chat room and instant mes
saging conversations if you
aren’t home, and will tell
you any attempts to defeat
or hack the software, though
no software is completely'
hack proof.
Cyberpatrol at www.cyber
patrol.com is also a good
program especially for big
families, since you can have
an unlimited number of pro
files each with their own
access dates and times.
Libraries and schools use
this program, but unlike
Cybersitter, its $39 fee is
subscription-based, which
means you’ll have to pay for
updates. You might want to

Good software should block
the bad without blocking the
good too, be tamper-resist
ant from young pre-hackers,
and be easy and trouble-free
especially with updates.
No matter how effective
your Internet-monitoring
software is, though, there is
no substitute for monitoring
computer usage yourself.
Keeping the computer in a
common area (not behind a
child’s closed bedroom
door), and explaining to
your kids the evils that are
out there and to never give
personal info out to
strangers will go a long way
to protecting them. - Jason
