On the back of the unit should be the model number, starting with TCD. There may be some other model information on the back which would help us know exactly which unit you have. Which brand is it? Philips? Sony? TiVo? Something else? > it's all sitting here in front of the tv because I don't have a clue > where to begin. It has a lot of wire dangling off of it and the > remote but no manual. ?

The User Guide is the best place to start. What is your video source? Antenna? Cable? Satellite? If you have cable, do you have analog cable or digital cable - in other words, do you have a cable box or not? If you have antenna or analog cable then you can just connect that to the RF input on the TiVo and use the internal tuner. If you have a cable box, or satellite receiver, then you need to connect the A/V output from the box to the A/V input on the TiVo, and you'll need the IR blaster cables to control the box. You don't say if those are in the cables you have - if not you'll need to buy then. -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
