Had the same problem and was pulling out my hair. Got it to work by
doing the following:

After you setup the 820. Unplug the replaytv and the 820, plug in the
ethernet cable into both units, plug in the 820 and then plug in the
replay. Should work like a charm. This is assuming a new setup. If it's
doing an existing box then you need to wipe out the network settings
and do the above. Good luck!
