Re: Of course you have to buy another box. said by JaM4150:Allegedly you could do initial set-up over a network before version 7.x . Though I never tried the ,#401 prefix to see if it actually worked. It does work. That's how I got my TiVo started. My TiVo has never had a phone line hooked to it.

| Same here. I broke down and got a TiVo a couple of weeks ago, and the ,#401 trick worked fine, even though I had v.1.5 of the software to start with. |

Arlington, VA | Ditto, same with mine but I did have a lot of issues getting the newest version of the TiVo software loaded. Problem was I didn't have a phone line and had to use a friends.
But after 4 attempts to get the update it happened and my TiVo has been connected to my network ever since. |
