An extension from our landline telephone service runs into a TIVO receiver from a conveniently located RJ-11 wall jack allowing the recorder to update broadcast schedules. I have decided to drop Verizon, our USA carrier. We also have VOIP service which is quite satisfactory.
We would like to update the TIVO information via VOIP telephone service.
Would this be practical?
- Disconnect the power source coming from the pole to the landline at its junction box .
- Remove the lines leading from the junction box terminals to three wall jacks serving extension phones, plus TIVO and splice these lines (AAA/BBB)
- Install a two-port splitter in the RJ-11 OUT of the VOIP modem and plug back in the wire that feeds the existing VOIP portable 5.8 gHz phones.
- From the second port on the splitter run another line into a nearby Verizon wall jack, thereby entering the old circuit - now unpowered.
Would the line from the jack at the rear of the TIVO continue to provide dialout service under the new setup?
