oH, well, then the cable guy was right. It is for digital cablwe, and he was feeding the cable from the wall, to the box, to the tivo, to the t.v. I kept getting a signal saying Tivo trying to locate cable signal. So, I had tohe guy go ahead and disconnect the cable, for now. Tomorrow, he is ocming to change over the phone line to cable. (Stepping up in the world). I'd like the tivo reconnected, as I won't be using that awful 2Wire modem, but a regular modem, with a Wireless n-Linksys router. (The whole house, and the yard, infact, will be wireless.) I'd reconnect the Tivo today,abut I'm not taotally sure how, as now I'm confused after reading the book. The book said something aobut an RF splitter. --Rhonda
