[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2728305, member: 3371"] The CM needs to be connected to the internet for full functionality. You can either plug in Ethernet or use a USB WiFi dongle. 2 reasons... It makes it easier to download firmware updates when they become available ( you can update manually with a USB flash drive but that's a PITA) The 14 day program guide is downloaded daily from Rovi corp via the internet. You can use the CM without internet connected but the program guide will only have about 24 hr's of data because all the FCC requires is or broadcasters to send out one days worth of guide data via PSIP. You will need the DVR+ and a disk drive, internal or external, and either an Ethernet cable connected to your router OR a WiFi dongle if the cable is not convenient. You could also use Ethernet over power adapters but that's not as common. [/QUOTE]
