Turn off Tivo receiver.

[kflyng]

I bought a Tivo receiver and wanted to use it like a DVR alone. I know that you can buy just a DVR and use it like a VCR by hooking it up to the receiver and just recording. But I think I need to turn off the receiver part of it. Can anyone help me do that please?

What model of Tivo do you have? Some are capable of acting as a "dumb" vcr, some aren't.

You repeat guided setup, and choose your sort of source.
