• The DVR needs to be connected to a phone line or to broadband Internet access in 

order to make its regular connection to the TiVo service. This connection downloads 
program information, which tells the DVR when programs are scheduled to air and on 
what channel. It also downloads additional information from the TiVo service, such as

interfere with your other needs for the phone line, and the DVR’s regular connections 
to the TiVo service will keep its program information fully up to date.

TiVo service typically lasts only about 10 minutes and will occur during evening 
hours. However, if you do need to use the phone while a connection is in progress,
