I have encounter similar issues using nfs to an OpenBSD machine. I
switched to nc and my problems were solved. nc takes a little more
setup than nfs, but it was not complicated.


NFS was about 1.4mb per minute. (much slower than expected)
nc was about 900k per second. (full 10mbit ethernet)

I plan to review the nfs configurations on both my OpenBSD machine and
the tivo. To get good throughput they will both need to be NFS 3. 
NFS 3 is much better at large data transfers than NFS 2.
