I think your right, or at least its correct for the American series 2

The UK series one doesn't use this number.. it certainly isn't stopping
my TiVo from phoning home instead of using the ADSL.

the network for getting guide data. If I null out the phone number it
still works, but I'm guessing thats because it uses some hardcoded
number instead. Currently has #,401 in the number and that works, but
entering 123456 comes up with a "Couldn't connect message"
