  • replacing old Direct TV receiver Tivo combo

    I am replacing my old Direct TV receiver Tivo combo...can I view both tivos from one TV? My current direct tv receiver/Tivo combo is a Phillips is about 3 years old (I think it is series one) and it is having troubles with pixellation, failure to download the program guide and occasional rebooting issues. I am replacing it with a new unit from Weaknees. However, I have multiple hours of programming saved on my existing unit. Can I still view these programs on my tv by switching the connections from the new unit to the old one? Will I need additional equipment or access cards? I do not wish to record new things on my old receiver/tivo just watch some of the things recorded on it. I plan to keep both boxes near the tv and only switch the inputs when I want to watch something from my old archives...it seems easier to do that then save the programs to a dvd or VHS tape or to a PC.

    Sure - you can keep using the old one. Just hook each to an alternate TV input, and set each remote to control only one box using this info:

      I have an existing TIVO Model No. TCD240080 which will not record, either when watching or for presetting, any channels above 35, which is ESPN in our area..will not record such things as CNN(37), green channel(113) etc.\
      How can this be remedied?
      Please advise.
      Thank you.
