Enable NET
Because 3.0 includes the drivers for both TivoNet & TurboNet, you will need to enable them by using a dialing prefix code in your dialing options on your Tivo™.  This assumes you have your TivoNet or TurboNet installed, connected to your LAN, and have a DHCP server running on your network.

  1. Go to Tivo Central™, Messages & Setup, Recorder & Phone Setup, Phone Connection, Change Dialing Options, Set Dial Prefix
  2. Enter the dial prefix of:  ,#401  (On your remote that's [PAUSE][ENTER]401)
  3. Accept the settings and allow the Tivo™ to make a test call.  This should succeed if it does not, reboot your Tivo™ and try a test call again.
