RE: [OT] TiVo - Network enabled but still requires phone line attached.

[Marcus Warrington <marcus.warrington@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Nick,



Thanks for the link... its now all working correctly !!!!!!



Can't believe that it was as simple as just setting TiVoWeb to launch in
the background i.e. added an '&' to the end of the line



Only problem now is that having been back to the forums I've seen that
my DailyMail and TivoWeb are out of date so its time to yhink about
reinstalling some hacks :-)



Marcus

It may be better to continue this on the forums here:

There are various threads already in the "TiVo UK" section about
similar problems
such as this one:
