Could you tell me if removing one of the CC's would affect the channels as far as clarity, and being available? Because when the TiVo people told the Charter tech's that one of the card slot's was defective, Charter removed the CC and took it away with them. And since then I don't get any channels past advanced basic cable.(099) but I subscribe to everything up to 999. Also the basic channels that were HD and clear are not as much. I don't want to call and ask them to bring it back unless I knew for sure that it would have these affects. As far as the Messages told me, it just means that I cannot record two programs at one time.
Thank you for explaining the difference in the HD TiVo's. I did not realize that they came out with a new one this year. You made it very clear how they are different and I have a much better understanding now of the two. This makes what others have said about their units make sense as they were talking about another machine. Is one a Recorder (the TCD648250B and the other not?) sc There is no need for an M-Card on a Series3 at all. There is no real reason to use one. It just doesn't matter if you use one or not. The S3 needs two CableCARDs, doesn't matter which type each one is. > I'm confused...I have the TiVo Series 3 Digital Media Recorder. It > is also High Definition. Model . Right, that's commonly called the Series3 or S3. > But it sounds like you are talking about two separate TiVo's that > are HD.

The TCD648250B aka the Series3 and the TCD652160 aka the TiVo HD. The TiVo HD is actually in the 'Series3 family' and is newer (came out earlier this year, the S3 came out last fall). It has a smaller drive (160GB instead of 250GB), an S2-style remote instead of the 'Glo' remote the S3 has, and a simpler case with no on-box controls, no OLED display, etc. The TiVo HD can use one M-Card or two S-Cards, that's about the only feature it has that the S3 lacks. The S3 needs two cards as it doesn't support multistream at this time. -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
