Re: The problem is said by qdemn7:Wit the new HD Tivos is you HAVE to use a Cable Card. They have NO analog inputs. No, the new TivoHDs have analog NTSC tuners along with digital ATSC & QAM tuners. They certainly can be used for analog cable and TV broadcasts. The ATSC tuner can be used to receive and record free over the air digital & HD broadcasts from your local stations. Of course, it would be silly to use an TivoHD only for analog recording, but it does have that fallback if the cable system has not yet implemented Analog-Digital-Simulcast (ADS) of the analog tier or if you want to record a local broadcast station or translator that is only available in analog NTSC. |

Fort Worth, TX | Yes you are right. I was thinking of the regular non-cable analog inputs. Still wouldn't do me good since cable is dropping the analog signal and going all-digital. |
