Series3 digital cable/antenna only?

Boneless · 07-10-2011, 10:47 PM

I tried to hookup a series 3 HD and only receive analog signals through cable. No digital cable or HD. I tried the guided setup on cable only and antenna only. Both times it can't recognize any channels. Does these series only catch digital or is there a step I'm missing?

I have the outside cable into the tivo, then component cables out to a component splitter to the tv(that's the only connection I have left available).

Make sure your connections are correct. Antenna only goes into 'Antenna In' and cable only goes into 'Cable In'
Guided set for Cable and Antenna.

Thanks! Got it working now. I had the cable line in the antenna line and also needed to choose cable and antenna during the setup plus no cable box.

Do you only have cable or antenna? You would need to have guided setup for what's connected.

Series 3 does not support the cable box and you would not have that listed in the guided setup.

Depending on the Series 3 model, the first 3 numbers of your Tivo Service Number tells you the model.

A 648, needs two cable cards, of either single- or multi-stream cards to access digital cable channels with guide data.

A 652 & 658, uses either 2 single or 1 multi- stream card.
