Two weeks ago The Good Guys was having a going-out-of-business-all-sales-final sale. On impulse I bought a Tivo for $100. It was not in the box, (this was down to the wall dvd players, et el. without boxes, manuals, remotes…), I found one bag with connecters, remote, manual for a TiVo dvr. It looked like everything was there so I got it.
It looks like it must have been a return because it was already setup with a zip code in a town near by.
Now that I have reset the zip code it seems to work fine. I am surprised that you can’t record and watch TV at the same time without a splitter. Setting up a splitter is what I’ll be doing tomorrow.
If I had purchased it in-the-box new I would have bought the lifetime service from TiVo. But, since I don’t know it’s history and I don’t think it is under warrenty anymore I will live with my “new” dvr from month to month.
I really should have done some homework on this first. But like I said it was an impulse.
