Kenny, While you are correct, I think most Tivoers will get the wrong impression. Those are instructions to watch regular TV while Tivo is recording. I would have thought that kind of setup would be obvious, but maybe not. The “live-tv” you would watch in that case will not provide any of the features Tivoers love like searching the guide and going to the channel with one button, pause, FF, and RW. This is one of the reasons I love MythTV. I can add as many tuner cards as I want, record different channels at the same time as watching live TV with all the usual Tivo type features, limited only by the number of tuners I have in my Myth box.
Tivo Series 2 80HR ST (160-0211) only $9.97 at Radio Shack!!! A cheap way for all to grab abother box or spare box to “play with”:)) Only your RS clerk as of 3/2/08 will now have to ring up the Tivo unit as “Other Store Income” as their POS will not allow sales of NTSC / analog tuners after 3/1/08. Just try suggesting to your befuttled RS clerk that he sell you this for the last know price of $9.97 or say $10 bucks if not they have to just “scrap them in the POS and then they go to the dumpster Since RS originally sold these for $219 I would think some oney is better than no money. And get a cheap WI-FI USB adapter or even the official Tivo USB adapter at RS ( 160-0209 ) for $59.99:)) Michael ps Anybody know how to view my storage space status on my Tivo Series 2 ST?

I think that will NOT fly with the public So I am warming up to Tivo/Amazon/UnBox to rent movies:)). Michael, There is no way to directly view the amount of storage space available on your Series2 TiVo, however, here is a trick you may find useful: Turn on “TiVo Suggestions” in your settings. What will happen is that your TiVo will record shows it thinks you’ll be interested in and they will be tagged, accordingly. TiVo Suggestions will never take precedence over anything you’ve planned to record, so it really shouldn’t get in your way. When you view your “Now Playing” list, your TiVo suggestions will show up on the bottom; or if you have the ‘folder view’ enabled, you’ll see the number of suggestions in the folder. It will take some time, but eventually, your hard drive will fill up. The fewer number of suggestions, the less space you have.

If you run out of suggestions, it probably means some of your recordings will get ‘bumped off’ if you aren’t careful. Lou PS If you liked MovieBeam, check out VUDU. Is there a way to edit recorded TiVo programs? I have a single-tuner early TiVo unit.
I record travel, outdoor, fishing/hunting, camping/off-road, and cooking shows.

Probably impending death notice for TiVo, right?
