Re: Does the TiVo need to maintain a connection to VM to set recordings, show the EPG
When my internet service was down for 17 days back in February, my Tivo was persumably disconnected too - I couldn't access On Demand, and when the phone support talked me through the settings it was apparently not connected. I could still watch live TV and recordings, and the EPG remembered two weeks of programmes from when I last had it on before the service went down. I could still record from this EPG, although obviously it got increasingly out of date and less useful.
Towards the end of the period, I had a popup message warning me that I needed to reconnect the Tivo or I wuld be unable to use all services, but of course once the EPG hadn't been updated for 14 days I wasn't able to record from that anyway - I didn't try a manual recording I'm afraid, so I can't confirm if that would have worked.
