I got tired of paying $30 a month for two setop boxes and the whole house DVR option so I purchased a Tivo Roamio Plus and a Tivo Mini.
I now pay Tivo $12.50 a month plus I rent a cable card for $4.95 from Verizon. With the Tivo I have a superior DVR, six tuners and increased storgage. What I don't have is access to Verizon's VOD library.
Currently I have my net work double NATed behind an Actiontec router. The only two devices using the DHCP funtion on the Actiontec were the set top boxes. The Actiontec also supplied the WAN IP to my outer router.
Is there any reason I can't have Verizon enable the Ethernet WAN connection on the OTN and connect it directly to my router and shut the Actiontec down? (I don't need the guide as Tivo furnishes its own program guide and VOD isn't available from Verizon using a cable card.)
