I have a quick question about TIVO. Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question. But does anyone know if TIVO can support the old style cable TV with cable A and cable B coaxial inputs?

I am 95% sure that tivo has coax out. If it doesn't, an RF modulator will meet your needs.

Go.

Buy Tivo.

btw, the Tivo website has factory renewed 80 hour tivos for $199 after $50 rebate.

I've bought 2 factory renewed boxes and had no issues.

Replay-TV models definitely have these inputs/outputs.

I just looked at the tivo and replaytv web sites on the inputs that those units accept. They both can only take a single coax input. Does that mean with my cable A and cable B from the wall socket, I will have to buy 2 units in order to be able to record shows from both cable A and cable B?

Are you saying that you have 2 separate cable feeds? Or that your television has 2 coaxial inputs?

2 separate feeds would be a new one on me.

Yes. I have two separate cable feeds. For example, channels like ABC, NBC, SciFi, and AMC are on one feed. And channels like cartoon, History, and HBO are on another feed. I have a cable box that does the switching between these two feeds.

So I'm wondering if DVRs like Tivo or ReplayTV can handle two cable feeds. Anyone know?

I would post this question over at tivocommunity.com. It is regularly visted by the Tivo staff, you'll get an answer in no time.

Thanks for the tip. I'll do that.

I know RF modulators are used to turn RCA video and audio into one coax signal, but if you could find a device that did the reverse, you could plug the cable A into the coax, and cable B (transformed into RCA) into Input 1.

At least on ReplayTV, you can tell it you have cable on both inputs and then you can use both of them.
