Phone & Network
While the DVR requires a phone line during Guided Setup, after Guided Setup, it must
also make a brief, periodic connection to the TiVo service to get program information for
the TiVo Live Guide, and updates to Showcases and TiVolution Magazine. This periodic
connection can be made over a phone line or over the Internet. To use the Internet, you
must connect the DVR to a home network that includes a shared, broadband Internet
connection (such as DSL or Internet through a cable modem). For more information on
connecting to a home network, see Chapter 7, "Connecting to a Home Network."
The DVR usually uses either the phone line or broadband connection for less than ten
minutes. You may also receive service updates to your DVR from time to time. In such
cases, the connection time may be longer.
On the Phone & Network 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 or not
you have connected a network adapter to your Recorder. Before you connect 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 39.

•
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.
