TiVo Product_Name 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 Product_Name is not
making phone connections, you may have a low-voltage phone system that the TiVo
Product_Name 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 Product_Name 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 Product_Name will be
unable to detect the dial tone and will not make its call.

Network settings

For information about connecting your TiVo Product_Name 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 Product_Name. However, if necessary, you can
use this page to configure how the TiVo Product_Name 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.
Wireless network settings
To connect to your wireless network, you may need the name (SSID) of your wireless network
and its password/key (if any).
