HDTivo: do you actually need to plug in the phone line?

[barth2k]

the HR10-250 has been nagging me about not being able to make a call (b/c the phone line isn't plugged in), but as far as I can tell, it's been downloading program guide data from the satellite just fine. So do I actually need to plug in a phone line at some point? There's no jack near the TV, so I'd have to bring out a really long phone line to plug it in. and for what? so tivo gets some marketing data. d'oh!thanks.
