What happens when I unplug my TiVo from the phone line?

I unhooked it to make room for a new phone and everything seems to be working fine. Do I need to keep it plugged in for any reason?
For TiVo To Go service, how much of my wireless network do I have to leave on over night?

Can I turn off the “base” computer overnight? I am assuming I have to leave the modem and router on, is this a correct assumption? I don’t want to leave everything on all night but that is when TiVo connects for updates, etc.
how do the other DVR alternatives compare to Tivo?

i’m particularly interested in the comcast DVR and the upcoming non-Tivo DirecTV DVR and less interested in HTPC options. HD recording capabilities is also important. i’ve been a Tivo user for 2+ years now, currently have DirecTV and wondering if there are better alternatives.
it would be great if you could compare Tivo features like season passes, keyword/actor wishlists, etc. and their comparable features, if available, on other units.
Will a dvr or tivo work with a hdtv that gets reception with an antenna?

I want to be able to watch one station and record another station. Or timer record when not at home, like I can do now with my old vcr

I turned off cable, but there’s 100 shows, both season passes and tivo suggestions, that I want to hang on to. I already deleted the Season Passes, but if I turn off “Record Suggestions,” will it also delete the shows already on there?
Is there a single recording device that has both TiVo and DVD playing features?

I want to be able to program this device to record my favorite TV shows but I also want to be able to watch DVDs. I’d like to have these features in a single unit. Does it exist?
I have a TIVO HD dvr. How much clearer will the picture be if I use HDMI as opposed to component cables?

Is it just negligible or is there a tangible difference in image quality?
Can I use an external hard drive on my TiVo?

I have an older series 2 TiVo box and since it holds only 40 hours, wondered that if in the USB port in the back could be used to store extra hours of TV recordings. Also, if you can yse an external hard drive, can you transport your recordings to other TiVo boxes.
Why would I want to buy tivo or the like,instead of a DVD recorder with 160GB hard drive?

I’m wondering what the difference between the two are? And what are the advantages of one over the other?
Will my TIVO work with the new Digital Cable?
March 19, 2012 by admin · Comments Off
Comcast is trying to get everyone to move to digital. I have an old Tivo unit and I’m concerned that it will not work with the new Digital programs. Just getting a new digital channel Box won’t allow the Tivo to change the channels, so this would make me assume that I may have to get a new Tivo. I”m not really wanting to go this route since I don’t have the Bucks at the time and not sure if they even MAKE a Tivo which works with Digital Cable. I’m not looking for “guesses” or the like, I’d like to hear from anyone who has had the same situation or who has an intimate understanding of the problem and it’s solution.
(Thanks Todd)
I got the unit used and do not have a manual, but I do know it has the mini-jack (1/8″ standard Serial) on the back as I am using it to run a replacement Modem. I am thinking this is what you meant about a Serial Port on the back.
