TiVo

Does TiVo work with Dish Network? I know it works with DirecTV but was not sure about Dish.

They don't have a specific TiVo/Dish box combined like with DirecTV.

I'm not sure if a stand alone TiVo box would work, probably.

But the stand alone TiVo boxes aren't worth it. The greatness of the DirecTV TiVo is the dual tuners. You can record 2 shows at once, or you can record 1 show while channel surfing on the other tuner.

The stand alone TiVos only have 1 tuner, so if it is recording you can't do anything else.

Standalone TiVos offer other features that DirecTv Tivos don't and most likely any new feature won't be offered on non standalone units. For example, the hyped Netflix connection.

I agree that the two tuner feature is great and I wsdh I had it. Personally I'm about to switch over to Time Warner and their DVR just to get the dual tuner and HDTV recording. Too expensive on DirecTV for the HDTV recording.

So are you saying that you cannot go buy a dual-tuner TiVo at Best Buy and hook it up to Dish Network.

Standalone Tivo's work with Dish Network but I don't believe any of the standalone's are two-tuner.

 

[BA93]

Does your Dish Network currently offer 2 tuners? So it would have the ability to record one channel with a VCR but watch another? If not, Tivo would never be able to just create a second tuner?

 

[utmck]

In order to watch HD through a TIVO do you have to have a HD TIVO and do they make them?

 

[PatBateman]

So for the people who have DirectTV, should I get standalone TIVO or buy a all-in-one. Any suggestions about the model I should get?
