Hey Guys!
I'm a longtime (1990s?) Tivo Series 2 owner with 7 S2 tivos humming along in my house. It's been a GREAT run and I'm really sad it's over.
(First my gripe) My cable company said a year ago that you can keep using analog equipment - no problem! Just plug it in and we'll keep sending you the regular signal. We got your back!
Then this morning they popped off and said, "Well, we know we said if you LIKE your equipment, you can KEEP your equipment...we're changing our minds. We'll be all digital in 1 months, 2 weeks. Buy a box from us and stay current!"
Sound familiar? Arrgh! Now I've got to come up with $500 bucks for a new Tivo. Thanks Cable Company!
(/End gripe)
Anyway, after pulling the knife out of my back I went shopping. The new Tivos are SHARP! But a bit more confusing. It doesn't help that I'm not familiar with the tech yet.
Question 1: We want a Tivo that will record OTA and CableCard unless they tick me off and I just cut the cord. Is the 4 tuner the only option?
Question 2: Our main PAY channels are CNBC, FoxNews, AMC (The Walking Dead), USA (Suits), Sci-Fi, PBS, Disney Channel, and Nickolodeon. Is there a way to get these online through my tivo somewhere without a cablecard? Like, "Add stream, (type url), recieve cookie"?
