I have an R15 that I am using in an area that isn't conveniently close to a phone connection. My plane was to use it and periodically stretch a phone line across the house and do an update when it looks like it needs it. I started having trouble with finding programs to record and figured that the guide needed an update. I stretched the phone line over and looked for the instructions to force a phone call and couldn't find out how to do it. I have 3 R10s in the house and one of them has to be updated with the 'stretched phone line' method. I can easily find the instructions for making the phone call on this R10 but I sure couldn't find out how to do it on the R15. Does anyone know how to get this phone call to happen?
2) Also, is there anything I need to know to do a software/firmware (whatever it's called) update or does that happen automatically as a result of making the phone call?
Third question, I want to eventually connect all of my DVR's (3 R10s and one sorry excuse for a DVR - the R15) to a phone line using a 5-way splitter. I'm wondering if the phone call times can be set up so they are staggered so they aren't all trying to use the same phone line at once. Is that an easy fix and/or is that anything to worry about at all?
