TiVo R240140 140-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Service is required
Contrary to the reviewer comments of Jan 2003, Tivo service is required to do any kind of recording with the unit, inlcuding manual if you have version 2 or later.  Tivo made a change to all units after version 1.3 to ensure that all later units must have the Tivo service to work.  1.3 units were &quot;grandfathered&quot; and can manually record shows.
