My lifetime Sony TiVo S1 is having telephone problems. I had no dial tone on the line I use for my fax and the S1. I traced the problem to the S1.
Here are the symptoms:
1) TiVo in normal operating mode, the telephone line is off hook and no dial tone (due to being off-hook for too long a period).
2) TiVo telephone line disconnected from wall jack, the telephone line goes on hook and I am able to get a dial tone from any other telephone on that line.
3) TiVo power off and its telephone line is connected to the wall jack - telephone line normal.
4) Power up TiVo - telephone line goes off hook.
I assume it is a modem problem and replacements are available from the usual advertisers on this forum.
Is my assumption correct? Do you recommend a replacement modem or a network interface board? I want to minimize the cost since I will be purchasing a new HD model and use this one to assure MSD.
Thanks.
