That's what I've been thinking. > You have a few of options: > 1. Have TiVo repair/replace the TiVo out of warranty. > 2. Have a 3rd party repair the modem. > 3. Use an external modem connected to the serial port (next to the IR > port). WeaKnees.com sells kits for this. Hm, will think about these. > 4. Add networking to the TiVo and switch to that instead of modem. I'm on dsl, and I have the hardware, I think, to set up a network. I'm just not sure what I'm doing, so I haven't tried. I was wondering if the modem was taken out, it would still work networked? > 5. Just get a new TiVo. This is what I WANT to do! Having seen some of the bells & whistles on the newer models, I'm salivating. But $$ may dictate otherwise for now. Any recommendations? :) > If this box has lifetime, it is probably worth doing one of the first > four. If it is monthly, I'd just replace it. I'm on monthly, I don't remember signing up for a service period commitment, like I see on the website now. I'll have to check that more closely. Well, my vcr still works and it may get a workout till I get the tivo straightened out. At least we're in rerun season! MegaZone, I really appreciate your answer. Thank you. Ruth
