I have a Philips Series 1 unit with a lifetime subscription. We recently moved to a new state. I set the unit up using the phone modem connection, everything worked fine. However, in our new house, the doorbell/intercom is connected to the phone line, and apparently when Tivo uses the modem, it screws up the doorbell and it doesn't work. We narrowed the problem down and it's definitely the recorder--when it's not plugged into the phone line, the doorbell is fine.
So, it looks like I can't use the phone line with Tivo. Is there a way to convert the Philips unit to use an internet connection instead, or is that just impossible/not worth doing? Otherwise I may just not use it until Tivo runs another "transfer your lifetime subscription" deal, at which time I guess I could buy a new unit.
Thanks for any help.
