Question:

Tivo and DirecTV?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

I have a Tivo Series 2 DT unit and a DirecTV HD receiver in my living room. I have two live coax cables next to the tv (from the wall). Is there any way to wire these up so I can watch a program while recording another. I keep reading that it can't be done, but there has to be a workaround.

Thanks!

  1. Your best bet is to go ahead and get the DirectTV HD DVR.  Then you can record in HD and you can record 1 channel and watch another assuming you have two separate lines running from your splitter to the 2 inputs on the DVR.
