Why does the Recorder have to be
connected to a phone line?
My phone jack isn't near the Recorder.
Do I need to keep the phone connected
all the time?
• The Recorder needs to be connected to the phone line or to broadband Internet access
to make its regular connection to the TiVo service. This connection downloads
program information, which tells the Recorder when programs are scheduled to air and
on what channel. It also downloads additional information from the TiVo service, such
as service updates.
• The Recorder comes with a 25 foot phone cord. Phone cords longer than 25 feet are
readily available at most hardware or electronics stores.
After Guided Setup, the Recorder can use a home network's shared broadband Internet
connection to make its regular connections to
th~
TiVo service. For more information
about connecting to a home network, see the TWo Viewer's Guide.
We recommend that you leave the phone line connected all the time. It will not
interfere with your other needs for the phone line, and the Recorder's regular
connection to the TiVo service will keep its program information fully up to date.
