Tivo Dtv I got a Dtv signal at home. If I buy a tivo can I plug it to Direct tv's wire or I need a Dtv box additionaly?

to my luck my son reset it by going to direct tv on screen and following the promps which allowed the second satelite to load ,which corrected the problem thanks for your response

the are some new features that tivo does not support. you still can watch your saved programs. Sadly the older tivos are equipped for the digital transitoins. I know Tivo and Directv are releasing a new receiver in a few months.

Hello,
Any DTV Converter Box.
You Need a IR cable to control the DTV Box from the Tivo.
Repeat Guided Setup and select the correct DTV Box on the setup.

tivo button is the Directv button (tivo home) at the top of the remote. if u have the new directv remote, the tivo home button is the menu button. remote needs to be on satellite. to program codes.

Have you tried pressing the "TV Input" button on the Tivo remote to find the "RF in" signal?

I re-did the guided setup in the Tivo under Messages & Settings/Restart-Reset System/Restart menu section in Tivo. Once I did that, it cleared this issue, even though I didn't have to change any of my settings thru this guided setup. I tried a reset alone first, but that did not fix it. Only this fixed it. We had lost both power and cable during a recent tree fall in a storm, and when both were restored, this problem started. I have a cable coax directly in the back of the TV (no cable box/IR etc) and the system is on a home wireless network. I actually have 2 identical Tivo's in the house set up the same way but only one had this problem. The other worked no different after the outage.

Do the speakers on your TV still work? Is it connected to a home theater system?

A similar problem happend to me. Buying a new remote fixed it - for about three weeks.

Maybe your new one will work longer.

The solution I use is S-Video from cable box to TIVO, and from TIVO to TV. That gets you the highest quality signal that the TIVO can handle. To watch true HD signal, switch TV from S-Video input to Hi-Def input and tune to HD channel. I have an HD cable box connected to both outputs, your situation may be different.

Feel free to ask for more help.
