Hi,

I recently acquired (for free) a used Tivo. I think it's a series 2.

I have no interest in paying for a subscription or having it 'phone home' to register itself. I would like to use it like a VCR, manually recording shows. Is this possible? I was under the impression that it was, but when I connected the Tivo to the TV, it wanted to register me for service either via phone or Internet.

I have a normal analog TV setup connected to cable. We watch very little TV but would like to use the Tivo as a VCR to record the shows that we miss.

Thanks for any help.

A.C.
