Vonage Hi All, So I recently signed up for Vonage and much to my surprise my Tivo phones

Hi All,

So I recently signed up for Vonage and much to my surprise my Tivo phones home without a problem :) Vonage has rolled in 7 digit dialing, so I was even able to drop the '1'. All was going well... but then I checked my Vonage account activity.

There I found DOZENS of calls being made to 411, one every few hours, totally random, and all at 99c/ea!!! After troubleshooting for 2 days with Vonage, their answer was surprisingly, my Tivo.

According to Vonage, they don't support the Tivo because there are known issues with Tivo modems and Vonage's MTUs. Something with the Tivo is confusing the MTU, so the MTU is dialing for assistance apparently... all by itself. Doesn't make sense to me, the Tivo calls are all on the activity page and they look fine, but that's what they tell me.

Vonage is of course blaming Tivo for not helping them diagnose the problem, and I'm sure if I call Tivo, they'd blame Vonage since Tivo modems work fine with other carriers.

So I'm on a troubleshooting quest right now and I'm looking for suggestions. First, I'm leaving the Tivo unplugged for 2 days to make sure the 411 calls stop, then I'm thinking I'll try the following:

1. changing my dialing settings (possibly the current combination of #'s is confusing the MTU?)

2. installing a DSL filter on the Tivo (possibly there's interference coming from the Tivo?)

3. having Vonage flash my firmware. (possibly a glitch on their end)

Anyone else ever seen random calls being made on their account?? This is definately a concern for tivo users since there's no way to block 411 calls. My $15/mo account is now at $35 and rising and its only been 2 weeks.

I'll keep you posted...
