Hello All,
My Tvio is connected to Comcast's digital Box converter. So whatever channel I change to, the Dig box changes the channel first and then the Tivo changes it's channel..on that note..
I have a season pass to Tivo Tivo channel 7 at 8pm on Sunday's. I was always able to do this, but lately, I end up Tivo'ing channel 8. So in order for me to Tivo channel 7 I have to manually change the channel on my Dig box to 7 and then the Tivo will change to 7.

Why is the Tivo not recording channel 7? The title bar does say channel 7, but it's recording channel 8.
Any help?
Thank

I had this happening with my series 1 and my Time Warner Digital Cable box.

I upgraded to a series 2 and haven't had a problem since.

My tivo wouldn't change to the correct channel, I had a lot of programs that were channel 1 an information channel.

It's very possible that you don't have the most efficient code for TiVo's cable box control. (The IR blaster.)

Check this thread for your cable box and the best code to use for it:
