Magazine. The connection usually
lasts less than five minutes. You may receive service updates to your Recorder from time
to time. In such cases, it may last longer, but this happens rarely (a few times a year).
A phone connection is required for Guided Setup, but after you complete Guided Setup,
you’ll be able to connect your Recorder to a home network and use a shared Internet
connection instead of a phone line to make connections to the TiVo service.
On the Phone & Network Setup screen, you can see details, including the time of the last
successful connection to the TiVo service and last connection attempt, as well as the status
of the last connection.
The Phone & Network Setup screen has different selections depending on whether you
have connected a network adapter to your Recorder. If you haven’t connected a network
adapter, you will see these selections:
• Edit phone settings. This selection takes you to the Phone Dialing Options screen.
Selections on this screen are explained in detail on page 104.
• Test phone connection. When you select this, a test connection to the TiVo service
will start automatically. You may wish to use this option for troubleshooting or other
unusual circumstances. Test connections usually only take a couple of minutes. When
the connection has finished, press SELECT to continue.
Your Recorder should NOT be used
with a digital PBX phone system.
Doing so may permanently damage your
Recorder’s modem and will void your
warranty. See Chapter 9 for warranty
information.
