Products like this annoy me. It was obviously designed poorly on purpose. This would be a great product if they had made it about 2mm thicker which would allow a standard female RJ-45 ethernet jack to be the end. Instead, they made a little flimsy...

Strength

Very small size. Works well. Tivo compatible.

Summary

I bought this adapter for my tivo. The tivo saw the adapter but could not find the ethernet. Because of the funny angle the ethernet cable does not stay connected. I spent an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my tivo but really it because...

Ethernet cable falls out, will not keep connection
