Instantcake: Need phone?

I've been reading and have a quick question.

If I use the latest version of Instantcake to create a new replacement drive, will I need to have a phone line to update the software, or will it have the most recent software already? I don't have a phone line so that's why I'm asking.

In depends on the type of TiVo you have because that is going to determine what version of the software you get -- take a look at the release notes to see what that might be, and note that most TiVo units still require you to have a phone line, no matter what (InstantCake doesn't change that).

TiVo TCD240040, TCD24004A, TCD240080, TCD24008A, TCD240140 [7.1b-01-2-240]

Mine is a 240080, so it will use the 7.1b version I'm assuming. Will this require me to connect it to a telephone line again to update? Or can it update from my wireless network to version 8 like I have now?

You've misread the release notes; this is the version available:

TiVo TCD240040, TCD24004A, TCD240080, TCD24008A, TCD240140 [7.2.0-oth-01-2-140]

I believe 7.2.0 will support most wireless adapters. Worst case, you can still plug directly into your network with a USB-Ethernet adapter. You don't have to use a phone line.

you have that incorrectly on your release notes web page as [7.2.0-oth-01-2-240]
