Can you TiVo a tv show on a non-cable channel, like CW or NBB?

Question

I am interested in purchasing a TiVo so I can record Gossip Girl this fall. Will it still work even though I do not have cable or satellite programs?

Answer 1

Tivo works with over-the-air (with antenna), cable, satellite (limted) broadcasting types.

Be aware that only the Tivo Series 3 HD will allow over-the-air HD recording after the Feb 09 deadline.

This means that if you want to record your shows you must purchase a Tivo Series 3 or upgrade to basic cable or satellite that still broadcast non-HD channels.

Older Tivos will still function as long as they use cable or satellite systems since air broadcasts will no longer be analog video.
