TiVo can record unscrambled QAM HD manually and OTA HD normally without a CableCARD. Do you know what you have access to?

 

If you are in Toronto or Ottawa you can get some HD OTA, moreso for Toronto, which has quite a bit in Toronto, and can get Buffalo rather easy.

If you want a TiVo that has full access to digital cable channels, you need a Series 2 and a cable box. Yes, it will be SD only, and for a Series 2 DT, be single tuner for digital channels.

You'll have to experiment with HDTivo to see what unscrambled QAM channels it receives.
