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'm trying to decide whether to buy a Tivo based on the latest deal. Would hookup be as simple as replacing our current cable company DVR with the Tivo and then setting it up via our wireless connection?
DH wants to cut some of our ties to the crappy cable company and I think the purchase price of the Tivo would come out in the wash when you calculate a couple of years of Ti-faux rental plus their service fee.
Who hooks up your Tivo? Does it just come in a box with instructions or do you get a service person to do it?
you hook up the Tivo yourself. Once you get it plugged in, it does the rest itself. My first Tivo was a pretty quick set up but I know you guys have a complex system so YMMV.
Hey there. A friend was wondering if there's a way to burn stuff from iTunes direct to a cd? I think not, but I'm not an apple person, at all, so I thought I'd ask the hivemind for assistance.
I think you just make a playlist andnthen hit the "burn" icon. I think it is on the right-bottom of the screen but I'm not positive. There is also an option from the pull down menu, I think.
Stephanie is correct, bottom right corner

If you're talking about one of the new HD TiVOs, you'll probably need the cable guy to come around and install the cable cards. Unless you only want to receive OTA HD signals.
Yup--cable guy hooked mine up. That's what the instructions say to do, and the anti-monopoly directions say they should without balking.
Thanks, guys! I'm pretty sure they'll come out and hook it up--for a fee. But I'll call them just to be sure.
You're already at HD, Cash? They might, then. Mine didn't since I was switching to HD at the time and it was all the one effort.
