[dimmer50]

I have a RCA DVR80 receiver that i bought for direct tv, and now that i have digital cable i would like to know what i need to do to make the DVR from the satelite reciever work with digital cable. Does anyone know if this is possible? thanks for the help!

Not possible.

Just change the DVR80's satellite tuners to a cable ready tuner, and add MPEG2 encoding/decoding hardware :)

In other words, not possible. Sell your DVR80 on eBay.

You don't need the MPEG2 hardware, just QAM tuners, and a heavy rewrite of the Tivo software and DSSAPP.
