Re: Cable Card From Comcast
said by pmokover  :said by Barovelli :Just a couple of FYIs Run the Tivo setup without the card to update the Tivo software BEFORE installing the card. I was under the impression that the TiVo box would not work until the cable card was installed. I guess I was wrong about that. How much functionality will the box have without the cable card? Peter You will get all of the locals channels and the unencrypted channels. You won't get the guide information, you will have to manually inter the program to record. This will let you get all of the updates for the box.

Before I got my cable cards with my TiVoHD connected to Comcast, I had it setup and it was receiving the guide data and programming for the analog channels, once I got the cable cards I had access to all the digital channels and of course all the guide data for those. |
