Hi everyone, I am new to this site. I tried searching for my problem initially, but the search function is currently down, so I apologize if this has been covered before.
I have 3 years (well, 2.5 now) prepaid Tivo service plus the 80 hour single tuner box. I moved in with some new roommates and they elected to choose Dish Network with DVR. I have heard so many different things from several tech support reps regarding using the two together. I had wanted to use Tivo in my room, but apparently I can't because it needs to be hooked directly into the receiver box (which would be in the living room. We would go into dual mode on the Dish Network box so I could have tv in my room). But then, when I called back and asked how I might go about doing this, they said the Tivo cannot be used with the Dish Network box because they will 'fight each other" - direct quote.
Is there any way I can use the Tivo with Dish Network? I suppose I could just sell the subscription to someone else but would rather not go through the trouble. Any insight would be appreciated, and sorry if this post is confusing, thanks in advance.
