The original Tivo land-line modem would die, making it impossible to dial out to get guide data.
Interesting though there was a card edge connector on the mother board. Some enterprising person made an adapter that allowed an ISA ethernet card to be plugged in, and then the Tivo would use the network instead of the modem.
Further Tivo not only allowed this, but tacitly encouraged it by including the network driver needed to make this happen on tivo firmware upgrades.
