TiVoWorld NZ

There are reports that the MAK (Media Access Key) is not included with the NZ TiVo now? TiVo just recently dropped the price of the TiVo by $200 but it came with a free $129 MAK so I guess it will increase the cost of the NZ TiVo now so effectively a drop of $71 . Unfortuately I can’t find where you can actually order the MAK in NZ so what gives?

Telecom’s Website says:

Please note the HNP is not currently available for sale. If you would be interested in purchasing this product in the future register here

The NHP is the thing which includes the MAK.

There have been quite a number of reports of people that have had problems with the Tivo Desktop 2.8 software not working correctly with Windows 7 as the software doesn’t install the MAK (Media Access Key) properly. A number of people have found a Fix (it may or may not work for you, but here it is).

1 – Uninstall Tivo Desktop
2 – Right click PROPERTIES on the Tivo Desktop INSTALLER exe and select Run as Administrator.
3 – It will install. Enter MAK code as asked.
4 – Right click the Tivo program Icon and also go to properties and select run as administrator….
