LOL.
Q. Sir, does this product contain peanuts or other traces of nuts?
A. No. it does not. I do this for a living and I am confident it does not. |

As I do this for a living I am completely confident as to my previous
statement. The DirecTV TiVO makes a call every day @ 2 am for it's
updates. Regular software programs do come in from the satellite, but
without a phone line- it will stop functioning.
Can I use DirecTV TiVO in my motorhome. While it would not be connected to
a phone line all of the time I could connect it every now and then to
receive any updates.

Yes, it can. Are you using a dual lnb in your motorhome? Is it an
auto-pointer dish?

I'll overlook the childish attempt at flaming.
Ten years in this field and I run into a (lousy) comedian when trying to help someone.
Grow up.

None of which changes the fact that you were wrong. |

Yes to both. Does that make a difference?

As I do DBS for a living too, but probably have a higher position, I am
confident that the DTivos don't need a phoneline other than for the
initial call and downloading showcases. How do I know this? I do it
myself. There's a nag screen, which can be disabled, but without a
phoneline you have full functionality.

Probably at a higher position... which means you are not out in the field, you sit at a desk. Probably why you are trying to compare the R10 to a Philips.

No, I am right. You cannot convince me otherwise. We are talking apples and oranges, look at the original statement.

This statement is plain wrong. Incontrovertible. |

I'll second that as a long time DTivo user. That statement is just plain
wrong. hard69rock - better get your facts straight. Try putting one of
these devices in yourself and see what happens.
I have the Vonage logs to prove that it does not make a call everyday at
2:00. I also have unplugged for extended periods of time. There is a nag
screen, but the unit is not disabled. I think there was once a time that
the unit would be disabled if it didn't make a call for 30 days, but that is
no longer true. |

There are folks on the TiVO forum at |
<http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/> that have 600+ days since
their last call for their DTiVO. Now a Standalone may need to make
the daily phone call.
