Phone line connection

TiVo® boxes need to regularly connect to the TiVo service in order to keep the TV schedule up-to-date and to update your software.

Phone line connectionTiVo boxes works best when connected to a home network with a high-speed Internet connection, but if you don’t have that available in your home, you can simply plug an existing phone line into the back of the TiVo box. You can use a long phone cable and a phone splitter to share a phone jack with a regular phone.

It should be noted that if you have a Premiere, you need a high-speed Internet connection to download and utilize the high-definition user interface and the Premiere-specific features.
