I do have a lan connection near my box, so maybe I can receive initial setup downloads through the internet?...

You have to have a phone line to set up your TiVO but you don't have to leave it in. Without a phone line you need to use a wireless TiVO router sending a signal to your wireless internet.

Yes. You have to pay-per-view over the phone or online, but otherwise it works fine. We've had it off the phone line for over a year now, no problems. The only thing, every time you access the TiVo menu, you get a message, "It has now been 423 days since you called in...".

I haven't had my TiVo hooked up to a phone for almost 2 years. You get messages asking you to hook it up, but ingore them.
