I just hooked up a new DT Tivo without a cable box. On one tuner I'm getting all the channels, the other tuner stops at channel 48. Any ideas?

How are you verifying this? Simply channel upping until you run out at 48? If so, what happens after 48?

You might need to add them under Messages & Settings -> Settings -> Channels -> Channel List.

NO. This is not the case. :mad:
The OP is getting them on one tuner but not the other. IF they were not added he would not be getting them at all.

Uhm, does analog stop at 48 and the other tuner is connected to a digital box?

Uhm, Did you read the OP? He clearly said that he is connected WITHOUT A BOX.


OP - I would suggest a Reboot as well, not to mention running Guided Setup again.

Already rebooted twice, ran guided setup twice, before I posted, no need for sarcasm

If you had included that info, I wouldn't have responded in the way I did. :)

I apologize if this is a dumb comment, but I don't have a dual tuner unit and don't know how it hooks up. Assuming you split your cable and plugged the two ends into two ports on your TiVo, if you plug the one to the problematic tuner directly into the television, do you get all the channels? Maybe you've got one split too many in the line.

Nope, not how a DT model works. There is a single Coax in on the rear of the unit. The TiVo splits to each tuner internally.
