  • Analog Tivo's & digital converter boxes

    I understand my cable company is offering a digital converter box for analog TV's for free.

    1) Is it possible to hook one of those to my Series 2 and the Tivo will still be able to switch channels on its own as well as record two channels at once? Or do I have to use a remote to switch the channel on the converter box?

    2) If the converter box is hooked to the Series 2, will my Tivo automatically restore all the channels above 22 that it sensed were missing?

    3) If the converter box is hooked to the Series 2, will it be able to record digital channels I have that are above 100? Or does it assume that analog provided up to 99 channels and that's it?

    Thank you.

    1 - For almost all boxes, the TiVo can do the channel-changing. This is typically done via IR cable blaster these days.

    2 - You'd have to redo Guided Setup both to tell it about the new channels and to get it to control the box at all.

    3 - Sure - any channels you receive.
