Hello,
I am trying to convince my wife to get DirecTV, we currently have Time Warner Cable but personally I hate it. The signal quality is not great, and I don't like needing a digital box in every room we want to get premium channels for. She loves our TiVo series 1 box, and the thought of getting another TiVo with the DirecTV might be enough to sway her. But there are stil two issues:
Can I use my TiVo series 1 to control the satellite tuner in the room that won't be getting the DirectTiVo receiver? I have lifetime service attached to it and have upgraded the hard drives and don't want to lose that investement. Also, I have no land line phone and the DirecTV site makes you check the "I really do have a land line phone, I swear!" box before you can proceed with your order. My current TiVo uses a 3rd party ethernet card to get updates, and I know Series 2 units can use USB ethernet, so is a land line really required? Any help would be appreciated.
