Tivo questions?

Indira Wassell: 1: Yes. Tivo has a monthly subscription fee. Check Tivo.com for details on different payment plans.2: No. You install the Tivo yourself. Don't worry, the instructions are very easy to follow. It's no more complicated than connecting a VCR or DVD player to your TV. You will need to connect your Tivo to your phone line so the Tivo can download the TV schedule every night.Once you connect your Tivo up, you'll need to follow a few simple steps to get it activated with the Tivo company. Really, it's not hard to do. We got my wife's parents a Tivo a few years ago, and a week later, even my mother-in-law was giving demos to her friends. You'll do fine....Show more

Jonelle Eligio: The first comment is perfectly correct. I would also call your Cable company to make sure they have Access cards for the Tivo. SOME cable companies require a Cable card for the Tivo to work, and some cable companies give a VERY hard time to customers trying to get the card! . Sometimes they do NOT have the cards in stock (Or so they say). So check with them first to make sure WHAT? you will need.
