Dvr Card Version
i have a motorola dvr through cox and just got a tivo hd. is a cable card really needed?
they want to charge $50+ to install a cable card which they say we need. they're saying we need to turn in the box and use the cable card instead..which has some sort of complicated installation which costs $50+. is this true? We used to have a lower version of tivo before the dvr which is running just fine all by it'self in the other room..hooked up to a different tv, while the cable is being delivered to our house through the dvr....
The CableCard is only needed if you want to use the TiVo, and I assume you do. You can't self-install a CableCard.
