Well if there is no return path you cant install a tivo. If its installed then the return path goes it turns into a v+ box, no discovery bar and no apps etc

We had broadband down for about an hour earlier in the week.
TiVo lost its discovery bar and earches, and displayed a network error - but tv was just fine.

Yes and no... if you have lost upstream then you will have no broadband and no interactive/EPG updates/Apps etc.
If you lost downstream then you'd have no broadband/TV at all. This is the same on all digiboxes though.

Install wise, then yes it would be a problem, but it may be an outage or a another fault in the DP.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Our tv and bb was down in the week and we lost it for two days. In that time all recordings that were set it attempted to record and the lights came on but it just deleted them and they didnt go into recently deleted and nothing in hiccups either. It didn't even attempt to find alternative showing when it came back on.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Did you phone up to be compensated for losing your service.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Yes they work it out based on the number of days it was out.
