I have the newbiest question of all! I haven't purchased a Tivo yet, as I am not sure it will work in my situation. BUT I am certain after researching tivo online, that this would be the best format to help me out..Thus far I have learned how you can use tivo, with sat dish, cable, outside roof antenna and even rabbit ears, NO laughing.. Downstairs in the living room is a sat dish receiver on that tele, my room mate has a receiver on his tele in his room on that tele, I hahaha have rabbit ears and get 3 stations. My question is what is the best approach for me, I do have a laptop and our connection is dsl and my laptop is wireless connection soooooo,,, should I set up the tivo on the tele downstairs to give me more viewing and recording options and have it sent to my laptop? Give me some suggestions I am willing to listen to anything. I am quite ill and for a while am stuck alot in my room and unfortunately it is the one with the least tele viewing capability. the three stations of cbs and nbc and abc are nice but I am dying to have more variety and that tivo could be my answer. Thanks to any who reply :) brandy

TiVo plus a Slingbox?

You can read about Slingbox with TiVo here (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=280306).

if you hook the TiVo to the Sat. receiver then unless it has two seperate "tuners" the TiVo will need to take it over to do scheduled recordings. what is being recorded is what will be seen. Do you know if that is the case that there is only one tuning output?

Use a video extender system with remote relay.
