There's very little you can do with a Tivo without the subscription. I think you can still use the instant replay - i.e., pause things and jump back for missed dialogue - but you can't record anything. (Vauge memories from trying to do this a few years ago for some reason or other).

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I thought you could use the manual record - by channel and time - only, but I haven't tried it.
tiggy, is this one of the new teeny tiny nanos? I was going to experiment with mine and see if I could see what was going on (I have an ancient iMac), but my iPod is a previous gen nano, not the latest.

Yes, you can do the manual record and the pause/FF stuff, but that is about it. No programmed record, even by time. Just you see something you like and you hit record.
Says the person who dumped her phone line and forgot that was how TIVO got it's programming information and couldn't figure out why her TIVO wasn't working for a while.

So, if I buy a used tivo - is it impossible to get the subscription?

Not at all - if the person had a lifetime, it might even transfer over. If not, you can sign it up under your name at the website.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

sumi, as I understand it, another big problem with having a tivo without a subscription is that the clock drifts and there is no way to manually set the clock.

But if I buy a used tivo I can subscribe through the website - so that's a possibility.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, if the clock is running fast and gets ahead of the actual time, you could accelerate it to, say, 1/10th the speed of light, relying on relativistic time dilation to slow it down until it has the correct time again.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Can someone help with what should be a simple html/css problem? I've got an unordered list. I want bullets on some items, and no bullet on others. My style tags work correctly in Firefox, but in IE (versions 6 and 7), I'm not seeing bullets in front of ANY of the items. Am I missing something obvious? Here's the page: [link]
