TiVo Guided Setup via Internet

If you’re like me and already have a TiVo but move and don’t have a phone, you may find yourself needing to go through Guided Setup again. [That's my case---I've added a digital cable box to my TiVo today now that I have the cable I need.] How do you avoid having to use a phone to repeat Guided Setup?

Enter ,#401 for your dialing options. [That's pause enter 401.] It’ll go through the network rather than looking for a phone line.

Here’s hoping I can leverage my decent PageRank to provide a solution to people’s questions.

PLEASE NOTE: If this is your first time through Guided Setup—that is, you’re just out of the box—this probably won’t work. You can always give it a try, though. If it won’t work for you, just find a friend that has a phone line you can borrow for a half-hour.
