How do i set up a tivo on a tv that is not digital that also has a directv connected to it.?

Question

please help.

Answer 1

You need to run the DirecTV through the Tivo and into the TV.  This means the signal goes OUT from the wall IN to the DirecTV, then OUT from the DirecTV and IN to the Tivo and OUT from the Tivo and IN to the TV.

You need to check the backs of each device to see what types of connectors you have.  Typical ones are coaxial (the cable with the round s***w attachments on each end) and RCA (the red and white audio with the yellow video).  Some devices also have an S-Video connection which can be used in place of the yellow video cable.

You will have a coaxial connection from the wall to the DirecTV and probably RCA cables from the DirecTV to the Tivo and from the Tivo to the TV.  Hope that helps.
