May some one let me know about Tivo Please?

[jonas_wells]

I want to buy a Tivo series 2 Model TCD540040 and using it with my roof-antenna without Tivo subscription service, also connecting it to my home wireless network.
I have heard that it will not work without Tivo subscription service. Is that right?
May some one know about this, please let me know?
Thanks
Jonas

All Series 2 machines require a TiVo subscription to work.
