Have my own Tivo, what do I need from Comcast???

[jamesmc76]

I have my own Tivo Unit (series 2). What do I need from Comcast in order to get up and running? Do I just need to call Tivo to activate, or will I require anything from Comcast?

Someone told me about a "Cable Card" that I might have to get from Comcast.

I am trying to avoid a 'service call' from Comcast if I can help it.

Thanks for any thoughts.

This is the wrong forum, it is for the Comcast DVR with TiVo software running on it. Your questions is better asked in the help forum. But the short answer is that you need a comcast set top box, not cable cards, for a series 2 stand alone TiVo that is not a satellite receiver.

All Tivos need tivo service to operate, and if you want cable for it, need a cable box, for Series2.
