Can you use tivo with basic cable?

Can I use a TiVo® Series2™ DT DVR with my cable company i have now?

  • I have a cable company in Arcadia, CA called champion broadband and would like to know if i can use a Tivo to record my shows. Or do i have to have a plan with tivo???

  • Answer:

    Yes, you can use a TiVo. However it will only work on the analog tier, not the digital tier or with HD. There is a Series 3 TiVo that can be used for digital and HD channels. However you would need a "cable card" from your cable company that would plug into the box to record digital and HD programming, which many cable companies do not yet offer.

Which model do you have? First off yes Tivo will work with almost all Cable providers. I have heard a few have issues though. As long as this is not a Series 2 DirecTV Tivo, this will NOT work for cable at all. Secondly it will not work if you do not have a subscription. Check out this link and it will explain in more details. http://www.dvrplayground.com/article/10171/Living-with-two-Series-2-TiVo-s/ Also check out their main site. It is mainly for Tivo and DirecTV Tivo modifying/upgrading. http://www.dvrplayground.com Hope this clears things up for you. If you have any questions please feel free to send me an email with more info like which model Tivo, Etc. and I can get more information for you.
