I have 2 series 2 & 1 series 3 Tivos and I want to start using my broadband connection for updates. I do not have a network set up, but I do have an Actiontec model 1524 with 2 available ports. The Actiontec is not in the same room as the Tivos. I temporarily connected the series 3 to the Actiontec and told Tivo to use the connection to download updates. That went OK without setting up a network. The Actiontec has a built in firewall & it is turned on. Is it safe to leave my Tivo connected directly to the Internet through the Actiontec this way?

Can I create a peer to peer network with my Tivos & have them all use the series 3 TIVO to get their updates over the peer to peer network, or would they all need a separate connection to the Actiontec? I am only interested in the updates & not sharing recordings.

Thanks
