I can't say about the specific Anthem AVM, but I can say that the remote that comes with the TiVo HD is not a learning remote. You only get the codes already loaded into the remote. The TiVo Glo remote, which comes with the Series3, does have limited learning capabilities so that's the only hope if it isn't in the standard pre-load set. You can buy the Glo remote separately for the TiVo HD. > (2) I have an existing wireless bridge already. Can I use this instead > of the USB one sold by TiVo. I will have only one TiVo for some time. When you say 'wireless bridge' I think of something with an Ethernet port - if so, both the TiVo HD and Series3 have Ethernet ports so you can connect them to a standard Ethernet-to-WiFi bridge. > (3) Is it better to buy the HD box and add the external hard drive, or > should I buy the Series 3 from the start? The HD is 160GB while the S3 is 250GB. Personally, given the price difference, these days I'd buy the TiVo HD and either expand the internal drive or just get the My DVR Expander. -MZ -- megazone-at-megazone.org http://www.MegaZone.org/ Gweep, Geek, Human, me. http://www.GizmoLovers.com/ http://www.Eyrie-Productions.com/ -><- Hail Eris "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men" 508-852-2171
