Vonage Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply.
Just as a follow-up, I did go ahead and purchase a Tivo Series 2 at Costco for a great price and attempted to set it up. I thought I would try the original method of going through Guided Step using a "land line" which in this case was my vonage line but that did not work out so well. The first call (2-3) minutes completed fine but the longer 20-30 minute call would not complete. I tried changing the dial-in number (there are 4 with a D.C. 202 area code apparently) and changing the dialing prefix to try and adjust the speed of the modem to no avail. I just couldn't get the call to stay on longer than about 5 minutes at the most.
I reset the Tivo box by entering it into "Demo" mode and then unplugged it and replugged it in. After it had finished clearing, it prompted me to unplug/replug it again. After unplugging, I hooked the Tivo up to my USB/ethernet adaptor and unplugged the phone line. It started up again and this time I used the dialing prefix ,#401 (notice the comma, per your suggestion) and it worked like a champ on both calls (less than 3 minutes each). I would advise anyone in a similar position to avoid the hassle and when you first set up your Tivo, to NOT plug in a land-based phone line and plugin a USB ethernet adaptor before you plug the unit into the power (make sure it's on Tivo's approved list) so that the unit can recognize the adaptor and initialize it prior to making the two phone calls.
It's now regularly updating itself on my home network and I can't believe I ever watched TV without it !
Read The Full Thread: New to Tivo. Lend me some expertise.
• So Tivos have never been cheaper and now that I'm living in a new place and no longer
• I want to throw something out here. If you are in DC are you getting cable service
