The Phone & Network screen includes details about the last successful connection to the TiVo service.

Phone & Network Settings

From the TiVo Central® screen, select Messages & Settings, then Settings, then Phone & Network. The information displayed on the Phone & Network screen depends on how your TiVo DVR is set to connect to the TiVo service: using your home phone line, or using a broadband Internet connection through a home network.

The title of the Phone & Network settings screen reflects the type of connection the DVR is set to use. From this screen you have these options:

•Connect to the TiVo service now. Normally, you don’t need to select this option—the DVR connects to the TiVo service automatically every other day or so (or every few hours if it connects via broadband Internet). After you start the connection, the status of the connection is displayed. You can watch live TV, set up recordings, and search for programs while the connection is in progress.

•Change phone or network settings. See page 59 and page 61.

•Use network instead. Appears if your DVR is set to connect by phone.

•Use phone instead. Appears if your DVR is set to connect by network.

•Test phone or network connection. Select this to start a test connection to the TiVo service. You may need to use this option for troubleshooting or if you change your phone or network settings. Test connections are brief.
