Could you give me more information on the specific requirements needed to get this to work?
I live in Tokyo and would like to be able to watch some TV shows from back home in the US. Installing a TiVo in my parents house and hooking it up to their broadband connection, and downloading shows to my desktop and/or laptop in Japan would be very nice. Would this work for me?
Thanks
