Thanks to ZatzNotFunny for mentioning it.

And for those who want more details, ChuckyBox at TiVoCommunity.com posted this link to FCC documents which show the docs, the internals of the adapter, etc. (I’ve had that link for weeks, but I agreed not to share it until TiVo announced the adapter officially.)

This is the chipset being used.

    and also on the setup poster, if I remember. I thought, hmm what a cool adapter to have if only a manufacturer made this. so, in a sense, TiVo scooped themselves? or majorly hinted of this upcoming adapter?

    It was first shown off at the TiVoCommunity Con in Vegas this past summer. TiVoPony had a prototype there that he showed off. That was the first public mention of it.
