Hi,

Don't see why not, since it's a subscription service. Since Tivo can be connected to satellite systems, I would expect them to also be compatible with cable systems as well.

To be on the safe side, go to the Tivo website and see what info you can find. Either that, or give the people at Tivo a call. My personal expereince with them is that they're a friendly and helpful company.

Hope this helps,

Why does your HDTV slow down when watching cable TV It is a 120 megahertz 1080p Samsung There is a HD TiVo hooked up?

You say it slows down? It shouldn't, but I'd try a couple of things first since they're both microprocessor controlled units. If it were up to my, I'd unplug each unit for about 10 minutes and then let the systems reboot. It's what's commonly known as a `hard reset'. Each system, the cable box, TIVO and TV have computer controlled micro's in them and each one has its own proprietary operating system embedded into the micro. Many times, and just like a home computer, they tend to hang up or start acting erratically. Unplug everything and then one by one, plug them back in. Do the cable box first and wait about five minutes, then the TIVO and finally, the TV. If it's just a case where the sound doesn't sync with the picture (but not on all channels) and seems to be lagging, since the new digital systems use mpeg4 encoding, it's most likely from either the program provider or at the cable company. A few phone calls are in order.


I have cable tv but I bought a dvdvcr combo and now I am told I have to have a cable or satellite box connected to it so it will work?

You can run your cable to you DVD/VCR as to have everything hooked up and be able to record if you like from you cable - it is just easier to have everything hooked up. It doesn't have to be on when you are not using it as there are buttons for TV/VCR/DVD etc.


Why does my tv get only get certain channels even though the tv is hooked up to cable?

Call your cable company, they control which channels you get.


Is durabrand tv dwt1304 digital signal ready or must a converter be purchased?

Unfortunatly the Durabrand DWT1905 is not digital ready, as it only has 1 NTSC "Cable" input and a set of Mono A/V connectors. To make it digital ready, you would either need a Digital Converter Box, or a DVD or VCR that is ATSC compatible hooked up to it.


If you sign up for digital cable in one room and analog in another will all cable outlets in your house be live with analog Or do you need to pay extra for each add'l outlet?

normally when you get digital cable you are getting more channels on that tv. (beond basic) All the other TVs in the house will still get basic. Some cable companys charge for the extra sets if you have them put it in. If the wires are there all you need is the splitting device and you can hook up all the tv yourself.. with satelite its a little different. you need a receive hooked up to the tv.


Why can't record from digital tv?

Recording through digital tv is quite easy, there are various popular digital tv providers like Tiscali, Sky, Virgin etc. These providers offer complete information about recording programmes using their devices. When purchasing digital TV service through such companies as Virgin Media, Sky TV, and BT Vision gets the average consumer a free, or almost free, digital video recorder specifically designed for the particular service provider. As such, the specialised digital video recorders tend to have additional features based on the service provider. However, one personal digital video recorder available to purchase is the TiVo. Purchasing a TiVo can be done in almost any high-street retailer, or if there is not one in your town, the internet offers many authorized retailers of TiVo. So what exactly does it do? The TiVo is a popular video digital recorder around the world. In the UK, TiVo connects to an existing television system, and will work with Sky TV, Freeview, or many other digital video recorders. The TiVo offers flexibility when it comes to paying for the new addition - either a onetime payment of up to 199 or choose to make monthly payments of around 10.


Cable spliter for 3 TVs it worked fine until you hooked up a digital cable box now the other two rooms can must turn the tv to channel 3 and can only see the channel the box in turned to?

Sounds like you hooked the 3-way splitter to the RF out coax jack on the cable box, which only puts out rf on channel 3 and only what the box is tuned to in regards to programming. Hook up the line from outside to the input of the splitter, each output of the splitter to each cable box/tv input.
