Brennan Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have a tivo series 1 made for directv and I switched to cable no and I was wondering if there was a hack so it will work with cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallaskorben Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have a tivo series 1 made for directv and I switched to cable no and I was wondering if there was a hack so it will work with cable I don't think it's possible, the TiVo has a tuner for DirecTV and records the MPEG transport stream from that - it doesn't have an analog video input with MPEG encoder (like a standalone TiVo does).

Brennan Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 its not analog it digital but I do see where you are coming from and I thought maybe someone has created something so I can flah its firmware and change it as if it wasn't a tivo at all on the soft side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any kind of software trickery can get around that, I'm pretty sure it would need different tuner(s). (it's too bad you can't use it, it's a shame for a TiVo to go to waste) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
