Using Tivo or Replay TV w/o a Phone Line?

Posted by Cliff on from the we-dun-need-no-steeking-copper-wires dept.

IronChef asks: "I'd like to use a Tivo or Replay digital recorder, but I don't have a land line -- we're a cell phone only family. How can I record all the Simpsons episodes every day on a Tivo without paying for a phone line that I don't need for anything else?" This situation is not as unusual as it seems, and there will be more "cellular-only" households in the future. Are there ways for people who don't want the hassle of copper wires to take advantage of services that expect one?
