The TiVo Series3 HD DVR is designed for cable and CANNOT support satellite programming. For customers with satellite service, TiVo offers the TiVo Series2 Dual Tuner DVR in standard definition.

A CableCARD decoder allows a digital TV or set top box to receive Digital Cable programming from your cable provider. It's about the size of a thick credit card, and fits into a special slot built into the TiVo HD DVR.

To receive two digital cable channels at the same time, the TiVo Series3 HD DVR will require two (2) single-stream CableCARDs. You will need to contact your cable provider to request CableCARD decoders. All major cable companies are FCC mandated to provide CableCARDs to their digital cable subscribers. Some cable companies offer CableCARDs for free and others charge a small monthly fee.

The USB ports are for connecting the DVR to your home network with the TiVo wireless adapter.

No, only the TiVo wireless adapter allows a wireless connection to your home network. The TiVo wireless adapter can be purchased separately at tivo.com and most retailers.

Both products are designed on the Series3 architecture so the core TiVo functionality is the same. However, the TiVo Series3 HD DVR offers a bigger hard drive (250GB compared to 180GB), THX® certification, a front panel display, and a programmable, backlit TiVo Glo remote control.

The TiVo Series3 HD DVR supports digital and high definition programming from cable and antenna. The TiVo Series2 DVR supports only standard definition from cable, cable with a box, or satellite with a box. Both DVRs can be connected to either a standard TV or an HD TV, but only a TiVo Series3 or TiVo HD DVR can display in high definition on your HD TV. The TiVo Series3 HD has more than three times the recording capacity of the TiVo Series2 DVR.

The front panel displays a clock and the titles of shows that are currently recording on your TiVo Series3 HD DVR. There are additional lights to indicate remote control and download activity. The front panel is also used to display the video resolution when you use the format button on the front panel to change modes.
