Do I have to sign up for the service to get it to work properly?

Yes - otherwise it is pretty much useless.

Thank you, I just have another question-if I purchased something other than tivo will it work with my cable company's program list?

If you was wondering, if you could get another DVR. Which could work without a Sub, yes you can.



The way TiVo sets records by the name of a show, "the time/date can change without TiVo missing a recording". Then wishlist lets you catch that Movie or Show you always miss no matter what channel it's on.

Those 2 things, makes the TiVo rise above the competition.

If you mean something other than a TiVo DVR (which by virtue means a subscription to the TiVo service), yes, there are a number of non-tivo DVR products you buy their hardware, or software for a PC with the appropriate hardware installed, and if necessary, subscribe to their service.
