V6 and internet
Hi all
Been contemplating switching to Tivo V6 from my current old school 500 GB tivo, but there are pros and cons from my perspective.
I believe the V6 uses the internet connection from the router whereas the older Tivo has a dedicated 10 MBPS internet connection of its own.
Would the V6 still work to display TV etc if the router failed or is it essential to have an internet connection to operate.
Also would they try and persuade me to get a shub 3, i'm reasonably happy with my shub 2 as it does all the things i need it to do fairly well and i really don't like the reports of the shub 3.
Also can i keep old box elsewhere and if so how much would that be, i guess it would also need to be connected up in new location by engineer.

Ta for any info.
