RE: tivo q's

Johm,

You can use ADSL by buying a "TurboNet" card, which is basically
an ethernet card for a TiVo.

I thought, however, that the phone call that the basic TiVo makes to update
was to a freephone number, and therefore WAS free at the point of use.

Is there any way to use a TiVo simply as a replacement for a VCR?

If you do get a subscription can't you use your ADSL line for updates?
I don't like the idea of some gadget arbitrarily running up my phone bill
without me knowing about it. ADSL is both quicker and free at the point of
use.
