DSR708 and Insight Cable
Hacker virgin here. I have a great TiVO DSR708 that I purchased when I had Direct TV. I no longer have satellite TV, but instead have digital cable. Is there a way to use my Direct TV TiVO unit (DSR708) with my digital cable?

Sorry if this question is stupid, or answered elsewhere. I did look for an answer and couldn't find one, but I may not have know exactly what to ask to find the thread!

Thanks for your patience....it's my first time

there's no way to do it. Your tivo was made specifically for use with direct tv. There a lot of features that a stand alone Tivo has that DTV had disabled...including the ability to be used with any other sources of programming. A stand alone Tivo is what you need.

It's not even a question of features being disabled...a DirecTivo lacks the hardware to act like a standalone.
