connect you will hear it dial.

This setting is off by default. With Availability Detection turned off, if you have another
modem call in progress (on your computer or other device), that call may be disrupted if the
TiVo Premiere attempts to call the TiVo Service. If you have a standard dial tone, and
Availability Detection is off, make sure Dial Tone Detection is on (see below).
If you are experiencing "Failed, Line unavailable" errors, or if the TiVo Premiere is not making
phone connections, you may have a low-voltage phone system that the TiVo Premiere cannot
detect. In this case, it's best to have Availability Detection off.
Dial Tone Detection This setting is on by default. If you leave it on, the TiVo Premiere will
check for a dial tone before it starts dialing. However, if you have a non-standard dial tone, or a
stuttering dial tone (as some voice messaging systems have), the TiVo Premiere will be unable
to detect the dial tone and will not make its call.

Network settings

For information about connecting your TiVo Premiere to a home network and using broadband
features, visit tivo.com/howto/getconnected.
The network settings will vary depending on whether you're using a wired or wireless network.
Wired (Ethernet) network settings
Most of the time, you will not need to configure these settings, as they are usually configured
automatically when you first set up your TiVo Premiere. However, if necessary, you can use
this page to configure how the TiVo Premiere receives an IP address, or you can assign a static
IP address and other network information manually. Follow the on-screen instructions to
configure your wired network.
