[Apologies if this is in the wrong place.]

I'm considering switching from DishTV to Time Warner Cable, but I'm concerned if my Tivo will work with the TWC cable box. Does anyone have this set-up?

I've got a Series2 and will NOT get HD, just digital cable.

Thanks.

Series 1 and Series 2 TiVos do indeed work with cable and satellite boxes.

You'll have to use the TiVo's IR (InfraRed) blaster to control the channel changes on the box. I don't think there's a serial cable connection possible with TW boxes. (If there is, that'd be the better route to go...hard wired.)

I have a series 2 dual tuner and it works just fine with TW. You need to tape the IR blaster in front of the cable box sensor (IF you plan on using a TW cable box) other than that, it is very straight forward.
