If Tivo unit is connected to cable, is it necessary to have phone line connected after initial set-up? Don't have a phone jack nearby and would have to run a cable across the room to do the set-up. Any input appreciated.
Alright. The S2 standalone TiVos have USB ports which can have Ethernet adapters, either wired or wireless, plugged in for broadband access through a home network.
Honestly, the questions you're asking here I believe could be better answered @ the TiVo Community Forums. Best of luck.
Thanks bidger. I have pretty much done that now. Am considering the wireless set-up. Just fighting with myself over which way to go - wireless Tivo or TW dvr with the associated monthly fees.
