TiVO - must you subscribe?

I have a DVR I rent from my cable company. Can I use a Tivo bought contained by the store in another room, a bit than pay for a second DVR.

I don't want to own to subscribe to any additional services at TiVO. I am hoping that because I subscribe to this service w/ my cable company I could basically get a few TiVO boxes and they would work on my other TVs.

Anyone ever tried it?


Answers:    There *is* a TiVo part that works (in a limited mode) minus a subscription. It's the Toshiba SD-H400, which is a TiVo with a DVD player (not a recorder). It downloads a rota of a few days (3 or 4 I think), that you can access via an on-screen channel guide to program shows. Or you can program it manually.

I'm not sure if you can still find it within stores, but you can probably get one on eBay.
I hold a TiVo, and just dropped my subscription a few months ago. It doesn't work pretty as well -- I enjoy to manually enter the channel and tape time, and the shows aren't labeled -- but since I usually watch shows in a week or so, this hasn't really been an issue.
