Phone & Network Setup

The Recorder makes regular connections to the TiVo service to get updates to the TiVo service, program information for the program guide, Search by Title, WishListTM searches, and updates to Showcases and TiVolution® Magazine. The connection usually lasts less than five minutes. You may receive service updates to your Recorder from time to time. In such cases, it may last longer, but this happens rarely (a few times a year).

A phone connection is required for Guided Setup, but after you complete Guided Setup, you’ll be able to connect your Recorder to a home network and use a shared Internet connection instead of a phone line to make connections to the TiVo service.

On the Phone & Network Setup 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 you have connected a network adapter to your Recorder. If you haven’t connected 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 104.

•Test phone connection. When you select this, a test connection to the TiVo service will start automatically. You 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.
