Has anyone any experience in connecting a Tivo to a PACE DIN001N from NTL.

I don't use an aerial since the STB seems to pass all the terrestrial stations (BBC1, BBC2 HTV Wales and England, Channel 4 and Channel 5) and the digital cable output via RF Out on the STB.

This isn't covered by the set up scenarios on TIVO uk website.

Can I use the STB RF Out as if it was an aerial so that all the above channels are recognized by Tivo? If I then connect the STB via SCART can I then record ordinary terrestrial TV whilst watching digital if I drop the duplicated channel names from tivo list of terrestial channels from the STB (i.e. via SCART rather then via RF Out).

A final one, do I need an adapter to allow Tivo to change channels on the RTB?

Many thanks in advance for your replies.

Yes you can providing you disable the digital versions (BBC1 = channel 101 through to Five = 105)
A final one, do I need an adapter to allow Tivo to change channels on the RTB? You should be able to get Tivo to control the 4000 series box without an adapter, it may be slightly more reliable using the adapter and different codes - this appears to vary by exact model number and your location.
