[CUBE] TiVo

[Eagle]

Chip,

We're probably getting way off-topic here, but to answer your 
questions...

The HMO probably won't work with the DirecTV TiVo because the DTiVo 
doesn't support ethernet networking.  This also means the DTiVo won't 
work without a phone line - a requirement for me since I am in the 
process of eliminating a landline.  I confirmed with DirecTV yesterday 
that a phone line is required for the DTiVo service. :(
