DirectTV HD receiver and Tivo Series 2

[markal05]

Had a question on hooking my tivo up to my Direct TV HD receiver. Can this be done? How? Will I lose my HD signal. Would appreciate all the help. Thanks.

Which HD receiver do you have?

If you have 2 inputs to your TV, thats the best way to go. Use the second output from your HD Receiver to run a line to your TIVO then run that to a second input on the TV. That way you still have HD to your TV thru the first input. I didn't care for the picture I was getting through my TIVO Series II so I moved it to one of the Bedrooms. Time to get a 199$ HR10-250 w/tivo. even though I have 3 tivo's in the rest of the house, It's still the best piece of Entertainment Equipment ever invented.

Call D* and thell them you want the 299$ offer you read about in the forums, and the 100$ rebate and anything else you can get them to offer you. Some people have been getting them for nuttin with all the discounts they been getting. You need to be a D* customer in good standing is about the only thing.

Thanks for all the help. I have the h10 but I have already paid for the lifetime service with tivo so I only needed to know how to hook up my stand alone tivo with my hd receiver. I was able to do it successfully and switch back and fourth between hd tv and regular tv analog programming. Thanks for helping a newbie!
