Do i have to have a phone line for initial setup or can i use my network the first time. I'm not really sure b/c i was in HiFi Buys yesterday and the "resident expert" told me that i had to have a phone line and couldn't use a broadband connection at all. In otherwords he said it wasn't possible to use broadband at any point. Obviously he's a moron. I currently don't have a LAN line (all i have is my cell phone), so i guess if need be i can take my series 2 tivo (yet to be purchased, to a friends place for initial set up. Also, it looks as if i am unable to get satellite tv in my apartment, i'm trying to figure out the best way to watch TV and record something else on the same tv. I know how to do it so that i run my cable directly into my tv and use a spliter. However, this allows me to only watch my non-premium channels while recording a program. Furthermore i won't be able to rewind live tv if it's recording. I thought of using two cable boxes on the same tv, but i think that would cause rf interference. Any suggestions?
