Yeah, it isn't a huge difference, but most likely the signal from the cable box is 'cleaner'. > I have two digital boxes for my dual tuner tivo, (comcast did a The S2DT can only control *one* cable box.

It looks like I'll be able to conserve space this way in This can't be done. The S2DT cannot control two boxes - it just simply can't be configured that way. It has dual internal tuners and *one* external source - be it cable or satellite. The IR blasters that come with the TiVo has two emitters - but they emit the same signal. There is only the one port on the box, so no matter what you plug in there and how many IR emitters it has, they'll all emit the same control signals. > addition to being able to access digital channels on both tuners, > (which was my initial reason for wanting to hook up both digital > boxes.) Sorry, it can't be done. The only TiVo that can record two digital cable channels is the Series3. -MZ -- megazone-at-megazone.org http://www.MegaZone.org/ Gweep, Geek, Human, me. http://www.TiVoLovers.com/ http://www.Eyrie-Productions.com/ -><- Hail Eris "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men" 508-852-2171
