[QUOTE=indie1982;35123695]If only it was illegal to not read the OP properly...

To answer the question, the TiVo boxes that used to be available in the UK didn't integrate with cable networks, they just had an input and a free to air terrestrial tuner.

You could connect a cable box or a Sky box to it and record that input but the guide only handles the free to air signal. So you would still need a VM box to get the cable channels but you could watch them via the TiVo box.

The new TiVo box has integrated cable tuners so you'll only need the one box but as always you'll only be able to get it from VM.[COLOR="Silver"]

OK cheers mate! Clear now.
