[sigh]<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>So yeah, the dual tuners are pretty much the only functional difference once you get the thing booted. TiVo is pretty up front about what it can tune and how: one cable box, max. Which means if your cable company only offers digital cable (like ours), you&#8217;ll only be able to use a single tuner with that single cable box. (TiVo called to let us know this thing won&#8217;t tune RF &#8212; yick.) If you have digital and analog on the same line, you should be fine recording digital and basic cable simultaneously <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2006\/04\/25\/tivo-series2-dt-hands-on-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">TiVo Series2 DT hands-on review<\/a><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone is excited about this new Tivo box that came out.
