Once upon a time Dave in Boston shaped the electrons to say... > There is no tuner in the series 2 box, right? The tivo box doesn't know > which channel it is recording, right?
Wrong on both counts. All TiVo boxes (except DirecTiVos) have a Cable Ready tuner built on - just like your TV. You need to re-run Guided Setup and tell the TiVo you have cable without a box, and it will use the internal tuner. > Second, how do I "watch live TV" with Tivo coming in on the TV's channel 3? If the TiVo isn't recording then you can just go to Live TV and use the TiVo's tuner. If you want to watch something else while it is recording, and you have the TiVo connected to the TV via RF (sounds like you do), then put the TiVo into Standby and use the TV's tuner. -MZ -- <URL:mailto:megazoneatmegazone.org> Gweep, Discordian, Author, Engineer, me.
