I found this link from http://www.dvrplayground and I think the article answers both/all your questions. At the VERY bottom of the article it says "a computer running Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Linux should also work, as should a Mac running OS 10 or later. If you would like to contribute information for any of those platforms, feel free to respond under this article.". The other part of the article does say you do not need a new router. Check out the link below. the site is also very good with DVR's

Or their main site you may find MORE interesting information, It has been GREATTTT for me. I know there are quite a few people that have posted comments about being MAC users in the past for several Tivo upgrades and issues. Hope this helps...
