DirecTV has finally committed publicly to the new version of the OS for the High Def TiVo. Here’s a link to their page about this:<\/p>\n
DirecTV Announces 6.3 for HD TiVos<\/a><\/p>\n You do need a phone line connected to your HR10-250 to get the update. As in the past, we’re pretty sure that the update itself will be transmitted via satellite signal, but that a dial-in will be needed to tell your TiVo to go ahead and update to the new software. So if you don’t have a phone line connected to the unit, your unit won’t get the go-ahead.<\/p>\n For those of you who have been just dealing with the nag screens instead of getting actual dial-ins, you really should connect up to a phone line, at least until you get the update downloaded and installed.<\/p>\n If you can’t connect to a phone line for some reasons, we have some help:<\/p>\n VoIP: If you have VoIP and can’t get the TiVo to connect, check out our TiVo External Modem Kit which works with Vonage and most other VoIP providers. For the HR10-250, you’ll also need the stereo to serial cable since that cable originally only shipped with non-DirecTV units.<\/p>\n No nearby phone line: Two options here. Wait until everyone seems to be getting the download, and move your unit temporarily to another room for a dial in, or string a long phone cord over. Or, check out our wireless modem jack<\/a> that uses your power lines to get you an easy phone line extension near the TiVo.<\/p>\n In any event – finally!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DirecTV has finally committed publicly to the new version of the OS for the High Def TiVo.
