If i have a TiVo on one TV and a cable box on a second TV, will the TiVo act as a multiroom DVR for the cable box on the second TV?

No you cannot. If you have a Tivo Premier on each set you can stream between them. If you have older pre Premier Tivos on each set you can transfer non protected programs between the Tivos. At a minimum this would be broadcast stations and uprotected cable stations. A lot depends on how much your cable provider protects. Premium stations are always protected.

I'm pretty sure it will not. You can get a card from your cable company to put in the Tivo to have it tune in your channels like your cable box.

No. The TiVo and cable box won't interoperate. If you have two or more TiVo's in your house, then they can see each other, and act as a single multi-room DVR.One other consideration for TiVo: you will not be able to access your cable companies' On Demand programming via the TiVo box. I felt that the benefits of the TiVo outweighed the On Demand functionality, but it is still something to consider when deciding to purchase a TiVo.

I would suggest another TiVo or refer to TiVo.com about the TiVo set-top that pulls live feeds without conversion. when you get real comfortable I'll bring you up to speed on pytivo and streambaby.

Unfortunately it will not. However if you have a tivo on each you can now stream content from either tivo on each tv. It is a really nice feature.

I don't think so, although there might be a tweak or solution. However, if you have 2 or more Tivo's, you can access each other's recorded content from any of the connected Tivo

TiVo Box will NOT connect to a Cable Box. Although a second TiVo Box with a network line (Cat5 or Wireless) will replace the cable box and connect to the other TiVo Boxes on the Network. I record on the main TiVo Box and can watch recorded programs from the second box. With the Computer Program from TiVo I can watch from my PC or a Tablet too. The second TiVo Box shows up on the main display screen and you just 'click' on it to access the stored programs.

Only if your TV Has Audio and Video outputs. Most New TV's don't. You can record from DVR or Cable box outputs Video R and L audio. That's what I do. Some still have Svideo outputs use this first Peter better Video. Peter

No. I wasn't sure, so I just tried it. The DVR has one tuner, so it can be tuned to one channel to record while you watch another channel on your TV. I tried recording 2 shows at once, but it only recorded the first one that I programmed.

yes we can watch one channel and record another. and we love our magnavox. so if you want to watch another program while recording, use input through tv antenna.

Sorry, I can't give you an accurate answer. My gut feeling is that since both TiVo and HDHomeRun are both tuners there could be some conflict. You may be able to make them work, but probably not the way you want it to. My HDHomeRun is directly connected to the cable and I use Microsoft Media Center for the DVR and other functions and it works very well in that configuration. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Does anyone know how to record programs from a DVR cable box (like TIVO)? Im not sure if I need a DV cable or if it can't be done.

No, TIVO and other DVRS require specific models. The Western Digital DVR expander (My Book AV with esata) is compatible. See product details and check with your cable company to verify.

I have HD cable (only on one base TV) but since it is just a rebroadcast of the base unit I don't see why it would not-it works with Tivo or a Blue ray player it just sends the signal from your base set up. This way the TV you are sending it to has all of the features of your main base TV. The down side is both TVs would have the exact same thing on. I use it to broadcast to my basement exercise area to watch Tivo recorded shows.

For what this costs it is a great solution to having multiple TV sets but not running cables or having additional boxes-its not perfect but it works and is reliable.

I don't know for sure. It should work fine with TIVO but your cable provider would know if anything else would be required, ie: a cable card for the TIVO box.

Yes, you can split the cable and record using the coax cable input on this device and bypass the cable DVR box. The DVR coax output on cable boxes is analog; therefore, this unit will not record from the cable DVR box. In addition, only broadcast HD TV channels can be recorded with this device.

I don't think so...there's 1 input & 4 outputs...so you can switch between AV components 1, 2, 3 or 4 but not all at the same time. I use mine for my DVD player which doesn't have an HDMI plug. I bought my switchbox when I had a 2nd component (an older Tivo) that wasn't HD and I needed a way to easily switch between them since there was only one set of Component AV inputs on the back of my Vizio TV. This switchbox worked great for that. I've since upgraded my Tivo to Tivo HD using an HDMI cable, so now I only have the DVD player on the switchbox but I'm keeping that config in case I add any other AV components to my setup in the future.

Yes. I have a Samsung with multiple ways to connect to other devices and the dvr has multiple ways. The dvr also includes some of the wires to do so.

No you can't. The TiVo 2 Head IR Emitter / Blaster doesn't control the TiVo at all. The two emitter heads attach to your cable box and allow the TiVo to change channels on the cable box. The 2 head emitter is not a repeater for the TiVo remote control.

1.I don't have TiVo, but I have Comcast DVR. It works flawlessly, when you click "Guide" it will collect the guide listings from Comcast and it would populate them in order (Favorites, Movies, Comedy, TV etc...) and the best part of that is it shows an image of the listings. You could also favorite the channels you like (i.e. I marked channels that are HD's and came with my Comcast package). When you double click "Guide" it will show listings from the box itself. As for recordings, you can toggle from the "Menu" and scroll through to record or just press record on the other remote (TiVo or Comcast).2. No3. Yes 1.I don't have TiVo, but I have Comcast DVR.

Most likely not. This DVR uses a Coaxial Input (the kind used by over-the-air antennas). While the cable input into your "Cable Box" is a coaxial input, this device does not have the ability to convert the (scrambled/digital) signal from the cable company into a picture you could view on your television. Your best bet would be to ask your cable provider to supply a DVR which is designed to work on their system.

No, Tivo will not work with satellite TV, DIsh Network or Direct TV. They have their own DVR recorders which the customer must lease directly from their company. Tivo works with most recognized cable companies such as Comcast, Charter, etc.

Yes, just plug the cable running from antenna into the unit. If you purchase a splitter you can go one cable into your t.v. and one into the unit. This will give you the ability to record and watch another channel at the same time.
