The DirectTV with Tivo will be installed on Wednesday. How can I face watching four or five days of the Tour de France on live TV? Did I mention that race was our original reason for purchasing a Tivo? Maybe I’ll have to look in to this remote/infrared sensor issue after all, to get me through those first few days.
Any ideas how to use an old tivo without a subscription?
Assuming you can get the remote working and thus have functional control, all we’ve been able to do with our old Tivo is to see whatever is on the Now Playing list. And you can use the Save to VCR opion.
But as the fan in the old unit isn’t working well, it’s already shut off once for overheating. We’ll soon lose Finding Nemo!
It’s already got program data for another 9 days, so I should be fine using the old Tivo IF I can get the remote control to work.
