You cannot record one channel and watch another with the stand alone tivo but you can watch a recorded show and record another. I have mine record pretty much everything I want to watch and then watch it from the tivo. That way I can skip the commercials.


Not true, if you put the TiVo in standby mode it will continute to record and you can use your TV tuner to watch something else. This is just like the vcr/tv button on just about every vcr.

A second way to do this would split your cable and have one go to the TV and the other to the TiVo, then use the RCA or S-Video to get the TiVo to the TV. When you want to watch TiVo you would change video inputs on the TV to the correct input.


I currently have 3 SA TiVo's in one room and an HDTV cable box. I have the signal split 4ways going to the cable box and TiVo's. I then have the Cable box going to the TV via component. Two of the TiVo's go to the TV via RCA and the thrid is via S-Video. It works very well.

The three TiVo remotes just gets very confusing.
