My present sky digibox is playing up...freezing about once a week meaning that TIVO can't tape.....very annoying when you're taping a series!!
I'm wondering is it possible to get a skyplus box and still use TIVO with it?

Yep, should work fine. From reading this forum quite a few people seem to do this. I think you need to change the code that Tivo uses to change channels from 20016 to something else, but I cannot remember what!

Only thing to remember is that TiVo can not record what it wants to if you are watching a Sky+ recording.

Thankyou

Thinking of moving from cable to a Sky+ setup soon.

Is it possible for TiVo to record from Sky+ whilst another channel is being watched?

Only if you're watching the recording on TiVo. I ran a TiVo/Sky+setup for 6 months and found that the Sky+ functionality was rarely used - only to catch conflicts and could only be watched when TiVo didn't require the tuner.

If you are on an active contract and you have premium channels (Sports or Movies) you will need to get the card paired with the replacement box.

I mention this because I tried to use a Sky card (cancelled contract) with a Setanta Sub on it and it would not display Racing UK on a box paired with a "Freesat fom Sky" card.

If you have other non-Sky channels (Setanta) then these have to be paired by calling Setanta - as well as calling Sky for the Sky channels.

The Sky+ box has two tuners, but only one output.

This question is asked so often - I'm guilty of asking myself - that I think it should be added to the Sticky, or even better have it's own sticky with all the pros and cons outlined (both SD and HD etc.).
