Will Tivo Dual Tuner Work With Digital Cable?!?

I literally just ordered a series 2 Tivo (the 80 hr. one for $99.99) from Tivo's website, and presently, looking over the reviews for the very same one on Amazon, someone mentioned that the Dual Tuner side will not work if one has digital cable, and that you stipulation analog cable.

Well, I have digital cable! So is this true, or . . . ? I'm really fresh to Tivo and DVRs in common (it kinda has my chief spinning), so I'm really worried now that I spent a ton of money for nil. . . . Please help!


Answers:    The cable that comes into your house usually have both digital and analog service on it. You can split the signal and run the cable to your Tivo and the cable box. Then your Tivo will record lone the analog channels (usually 2 through 99) and you'd use your cable box to examine all the channel. You'd hook up the Tivo to your rca type "line in" connectors on the TV and the coax cable from your cable box would be in motion to the "TV in" on your tv. Or some cable boxes can be controlled by the Tivo. You can check the Tivo website to see. In that case you can run the cable box (after you split the signal) to the 2nd antenna input on the Tivo box and one of the tuners would diary analog while one was copy the digital, if you were demo two shows on two different channels at alike time. Sounds complicated but it really isn't. There's a nice diagram included with the instructions.
Your cable box will work in recent times fine.

However, you will only be capable of watch channel 2-99 on one tuner, while you will get adjectives channels on the other.

For example, you will not be capable of record HBO and Showtime at alike time, because both of those channels are superior than 99, but you will be able to copy HBO and NBC just fine, because NBC is going to be a furrow lower than 99.

DVRs are great fun, and you will wonder how you ever watched TV short it once you have it.
