Hello,
I have a Series 2 Tivo DVR that I purchased almost 3 years ago. I feel like I've tried everything under the sun, & read all of the posts I could find, but I'm still stuck! My old roommate had set up my Tivo in the living room to download over the internet, which I find out AFTER she moves! When she left, the internet was cancelled, so I'm now stuck with uploading through the phone. This had worked the first year before she moved in.
Anyway, I know the land line works as I pulled in another line & phone to hear the tone. I've tried switching the numbers to call, but had no luck. I shut off the Tivo for 30 minutes, & then restarted the system last night. I've tried the #096 prefix I saw in another post, but nothing happened. I go to test the phone connection, & after preparing, it dials for ~20 seconds, & says 'no connection'.
I've seen in other posts that the modem may be bad. Could this be the case? I know switching to internet would be best, but I'd really like to get this phone thing fixed before I spend more money every month for internet, even though I know an external modem costs money as well. I could get a wireless adapter to 'borrow' the internet from a neighbor, but all of the networks close to me are secured.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!
