Default Re: TiVo without a phone line?

My Tivo receiver (DirecTV) is not hooked to a phone line, and hasn't been for a year. I get an annoying message every day, but that's it. Everything else is just as functional.

I guess I was wrong. Have you noticed if you've ever received software updates? I think those may come via phone line.

Can't say that I have. Perhaps that's why it runs so damn slow most of the time. Hmm...

It's really an example of my laziness that I haven't bothered to hook it back up, but I just never thought there was a point in doing so.

You may want to do it. Some of the updates have been transparent. But a few months back they did one that substantially speeded up a lot of processes. Looking through the guide, for instance. That use to be slow as hell. Now it's reasonably quick. The other big thing in that release was the addition of folders. It now automatically puts multiple episodes of the same show in a folder in the Now Playing list. Significantly unclutters things.
