Note: You cannot connect to the TiVo Service using a phone line if you want to use TiVo with
HD menus.
To connect to the TiVo Service using a phone line, you will need to use the TiVo Phone Line
Adapter. This adapter is available at tivo.com/store.
Dial-In Number Select or change the phone number used to connect to the TiVo Service.
Dial Prefix Select this if you normally dial a prefix before making a phone call (for example, if
you need to dial "9" to get an outside line). Use the number keys on the remote control to enter
the prefix. Press the PAUSE button after you have entered the prefix. This will insert a comma,
which creates a two second pause after the prefix is dialed.
Call Waiting Prefix Choose this to disable call waiting while connecting to the TiVo Service.
Without a call waiting prefix, the TiVo Premiere may drop its connection and allow incoming
calls to ring through, depending on your phone system. The TiVo Premiere will try connecting
again later.
The most common code that phone companies use to disable call waiting is *70, (star-seven-
zero-comma.) Check with your phone company to find out how to disable call waiting in your
area. Press CLEAR to enter a star (*). Press the PAUSE button after you have entered the prefix
to insert a comma, which creates a two second pause after the prefix is dialed.
Tone/Pulse Dialing If your phone system uses pulse dialing rather than tone dialing, change the
setting to pulse here. (Most phone systems are tone.)
Availability Detection When Availability Detection is on, the TiVo Premiere checks whether the
phone line is in use, which allows it to avoid disrupting a call in progress.
