Re: TiVo Series 3 Questions Regarding CableCard, Etc.
1. The cablecard does the same thing as a cable box. It decodes encrypted video signals.
2. Yes. Two via cable, two via OTA or one via cable and one via OTA.
3. Yes. The Tivo guide replaces the cable delivered guide.
4. Yes, copying via analog outputs is still there. I would recommend at least copying to DVD-R instead of VHS. You are correct that Tivo2Go is a digital transfer method to a computer. Most people aren't ready for the massive amounts of data that will have to be transfered for an HD show.
If you need any more Tivo information, I suggest you check out the Tivo Community. They have a sub-forum for the S3. There are even a few employees in there answering questions and helping people get cablecards from their cable company. Yes, a few companies are refusing to give cards for the Tivo.
