Claire Billegas: If you buy the older s2 tivo you can use it with the direct tv box. the tivo hd and s3 only work with cable and or antenna.tivo is coming with a direct tv tivo in a year.
Palmira Lochridge: You will need the Tivo service in order to get the guide data that Tivo uses to schedule recordings. You will either have to pay for this service or you may be able to find a used Tivo box that already has the lifetime subscription paid. The lifetime subscription pertains to the Tivo box and not the owner, so it is transferable. As stated in the other answer, you will need to look for the older Series 2 Tivo units. DirecTV also charges about $5 or $6 per month for its DVR service.Using a Tivo with DirecTV can be a little aggravating. If you want the Tivo to change the channel, which it will need to do to record things when you are not there, you will need to set it up to do so. This causes a delay in changing the channel because of the way the Tivo sends ou! t the channel command. It WILL work, but changing channels using the Tivo remote is slow....Show more
