I currently use the DirecTiVo without a phone line and it somehow gets the tv listings information just fine anyway. Will I need a phone line when I "upgrade" to the HD DVR?

Thanks!!

Because the listing are in the data stream and the phone line is only needed to order PPV stuff and to "call-in" to activate a new software version.

Thanks! I assume the same is true of the HD DVR.

As an aside,do you know how to stop my Directivo from reminding me to dial in? It's getting quite annoying...

my hr20 has never had a phone line plugged in, not even to start, just so you know

Excellent news... Thank you!

I hope I don't regret "upgrading" to HD. I'll be mad if the old directivos get the Remote Booking feature and the HD TIVOs don't...

Now that Tivo has merged the SD & HD software versions, I think it likely that the features will be present for all.
