If you know for a fact you have a digital phone I would NOT plug it into your
Tivo.

Ahh but thats the problem- nobody knows! I get different answers from
different phone and IT people, and everyone seems to be sure they're
right. If I plug the Tivo into a digital phone line... would it just
not work or would it actually do irreversable damage?
That being the case you can try a few things. Google the make and
model of the phone that is in the dorm. That might tell you what type of
phone, digital or analog. You might try plugging in a standard analog phone
in place of the phone in your dorm. If you get a dial tone and can dial out
it is an analog line and should work fine with your Tivo. If you do not get a
dial tone then I think you are out of luck.
Yes if you plug a Tivo into a digital phone line you could damage the
Tivo. If you plug a cheap analog phone into a digital system you probably
won't damage the phone, it just won't work.
