Can I use my TiVo if I don't have a landline

[spy]

I am thinking of getting rid of my landline but was wondering whether there is anyway of using the TiVo (and still being able to get the listings data) without a landline? e.g. through the internet?

Can anyone help?

Yes, just add a network card.

'tis very easy. The worst part is getting your fingers shredded on the back of the cachecard or turbonet card and sliced by the metal case ;)

How would you connect to internet without the landline?

Cable.

I've got Telewest broadband and (as I understand it) don't need to have a landline for that. I use my mobile most of the time anyway so if I can get the TiVo listings through the net then I might as well get rid of the landline.

Thanks for the replies everyone :up:

I thought cable Internet access tended to come bundled with a telephone line - are Telewest offering it cheaper without, now?

[cwaring]

Not really. Their top (Supreme) Pack is the only one available without a phone-line at a cost of £22. This is £6 cheaper than the cost of the pack including line-rental.

However, this does not mean that the line-rental is only £6. It is, in fact, £10.50; which is strange to say the least, but there you go!

Sounds like a £4.50 "package discount" on the line rental + Supreme pack to me. Nothing odd about that... :confused:
