I think i know the answer to this already but figure you guys know a hell of a lot more than I on this topic so am giving it a shot...

Can you access files from an EXTERNAL hard drive connected to your Tivo via the USB ports?

I am having a party sunday & want to set up a slide show on my TV of pics from my hard drive on my PC. I know that using TiVo-to-go to access the hard drive would be the best way to go but having spent about 12 hours thus far with both TiVo Customer Service and the makers of my router trying to figure out why my PC & TiVo won't speak to each other has driven me insane (most recent determination of the problem is that there is something wrong with the OS of my PC that is preventing said communication - not the only problem I have with my PC & its &)(*@ OS but thats another story... )

ANYWAY i have all the pics backed up on an external hard drive & am wondering if i hooked that up to the TiVo, would i then be able to access said files?

BTW I think this forum ROCKS - on here I have found answers to many of my questions about TiVo service & set up - saving me multiple hours of frustration. You guys are the best !!!

Sorry, unfortunately you can't do that.

Can both your tivo and your computer see the internet? If your tivo can see the internet, you can put yourself on the priority list for 7.2, hope that you get the update in time, and use yahoo pictures instead of tivo home media until you figure out your problem.
