[DVR] Getting a Tvio

I'm looking at getting my parents a basic tvio for Christmas, which they have one of mediacom's pace models right now. I just like to know what needs to be done so they can still get medicom's service through the tvio box.

From what I understand, they just need to turn in their current box and get some kind of card for the tvio box?

You'll need an M Cable Card from Mediacom. Pop the card in, call in to have it paired, pray things go as they should, and you're good to go.

With your own provided TiVo purchased at retail you will not get Mediacom on demand however if you rent one of Mediacom DVR with TiVo software you will however be advised they have the series 4 and not theseries 5 the Romeo
