Re: Tivo again ?

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

Re: Tivo again ?

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...

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!
