TiVo without a phone line?

[Amid Cent]

You can do one of these options:

Buy a long (25-50 foot) phone cable and keep it behind your Tivo. Then, plug it into a phone line every 2-4 weeks and manually run the updater through the menu.

Buy a wireless phone jack, this will allow you to be connected without having a line plugged in. Radio Shack sells them. Warning though, these don't work so well if you have DSL filters on any of your phone lines.
