I hope this question is not too dumb. TiVo HD. I like the convenience of CableCards, and I want to preserve two-tuner functionality, but I would also like to be able to access content available only through a cable box and record it with TiVo. (I know I can access the content by hooking the box up to a separate TV input, but that will bypass TiVo.) Would there be a conflict with the CableCards if I ran the cable box decoded signal into the cable input? I imagine that IF this would work I would have to have an A/B switch (A=unfiltered cable, B=cable box) to allow the CableCards to tune channels from a complete signal when I was not accessing the box.
If this would not work (and I fear it would not) do you have any other suggestion, or should I forget about it? I have also thought about putting a VHS recorder in line between the box and a separate TV input, but I think that would eliminate the cable box's HD content (and I know I could not record HD).
My thanks, as usual.
