Hello. I have an odd question for you. I purchased a used Tivo off of Ebay, hooked it up and found the it was locked on the 'Powering up' screen. Upon looking at the site, I understand that the unit's hard drive is shot. Before purchase a replacement, I want to know if the following 2 situations will work.
Situation 1: Can the unit be used as a 'delay system' to bridge between a radio signal (via audio input) to better sync radio transmissions and satellite sports programming.
Situation 2: Hooking a surveillance camera to the A/V inputs and using it as a recorder for my security camera.
Is a subscription needed for either situation.
Thanks for your time and wisdom!
