If this unit has that kind of subscription already, you can use an IR sender glued to the digital-converter to do the channel changing, after the TiVo downloads any needed updates to know what codes to send. The 'updates' only happen if you have some kind of subscription active.

If it has the remote, connect it to a TV and look at 'messages and settings' 'account and system info' 'System Info' and find out what the TiVo account status is: if it's 'discontinued' you won't get free recording. Product Lifetime is the best indication, but other statuses leave open the possibility to record by time and set the channel manually on your converter. |
