That should work - as long as the sat receiver has an RF out, or you buy an external RF modulator. As you say, the TiVo would not control the RF input, and if you did record anything the guide data on the recording would be wrong - it'd be whatever was on the real analog channel at the time. You'd also have the Trick Play features. The drawback is quality loss - RF is the lowest possible quality connection, generally including sound being stripped to mono. (While analog cable & antenna could have stereo sound, the RF modulators in most STBs - including all TiVos with RF out - only do mono.) So you would be making a bit of a sacrifice. -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
