Additional Tivo updates and information:

TiVo works with cable, satellite and even antenna. Tivo can also be setup to work with existing VCRs and DVD players. Many Tivo DVRs can record up to 240 hours worth of material, but this is mostly dependent on the size of the hard drive and is being upgraded daily...

Does Tivo work with Dish Network Receivers?

Tivo Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) are compatible with most DISH network receivers. If your satellite receiver supports IR control (most do), Tivo should work with your satellite TV service. However, if you have a receiver that does not support IR control, your Tivo DVR will not be able to change channels to record shows.

*See VMC Satellite TVfor further information on Dish Network Tivo and Dish Network Personal Video Recorder (PVR) systems.

Note: DirecTV is the actual satellite TV providers name although it is very common for people to use Direct TV also. Because this is so common, you may find us refer to the company both ways on this site...
