Re: Tivo again ?
I have a very simple linux CD that fixes the daily nag screen. Take out the hd, stick it in your computer, run the linux disc, VIOLA! Tivo will never ever need a phone connection again for anything!

And the only way to get rid of that (even if the program updates are coming in via satellite) is to dial up and connect at least once every few weeks. I can do it via my voip phone connection, but talk about annoying... |

The program guide does come in via satellite. Disconnect the phone line and all you get is a daily nag screen. |

The very fact that I need a phone line for the sole purpose of getting program updates instead of being able to use an existing internet connection (because the USB on mine is crippled by default), or the satellite connection already in place (gee, wouldn't that make sense), has had me looking for alternatives since the day I got it...
