I'm sorry to report this, but it seems the storm has fried the TiVo's modem.

Philips Tivo won't hang up
After an electrical storm yesterday I had no phone service. I checked all connections and everything was fine. Turns out my Philips Tivo was attempting to call in, getting a "no dial tone" and hanging, leaving my phones on busy. As soon as I unplug the Tivo, the pnone service works fine... the Tivo phone line works fine with a phone plugged in, but Tivo can't find a dial tone. I have plugged and unplugged several times to no avail. If I try to use Tivo dial-in, I have no phone. If I use my phones I haveTivo dial in. Any help? I'm thinking after a Tivo dial in either test or an actual call the dial tone fails (even though there is a dial tone) but Tivo doesn't hang up....

Try rebooting the Tivo.
If this does not work, then it could very well have a dead modem.

I have an old Philips Tivo model ptv300. It was refurbished two years ago when the hard drive died with an 80 meg and a new modem if I remember correctly.
thank you all for your help I guess I'll take Tivo up on their trade up offer since
