My friend gave me his spare Tivo. will it work for me?

Question

thanks

Answer 1

works fine without paying for service. I have never paid for the monthly service.

Answer 2

Yes, but you will need to set up the service. You need to pay the monthly fee in order to get it working.

Answer 3

Yes it will. If your friend paid for lifetime service, you won't need to pay anything. It's easy to set up to your network but you need to use a usb wireless adapter that's compatible (not all are compatible). Tivo makes one too. Here's 2 support articles about connecting to a wireless network.
