Sure, more and more Americans are signing up for broadband internet access through cable, DSL, or other high-speed networks. But there are still plenty of folks out there with dialup modems, or no internet access at all.So it's either inevitable or a bit unfair that TiVo has reduced the number of telephone numbers users can use to download data for their boxes.
TiVo says some customers might notice that they are running out of program guide data, or that their daily telephone calls are failing. There are two solutions. Either users can choose a new dial-in number, or they can connect their Series2 or Series3 boxes to the internet over a home network.
Does this signal the end of dialup? No. But it's not cheap to maintain telephone lines throughout the country. The more users TiVo can convince to connect their TiVos to broadband connections, the less money the company has to shell out in phone bills.
