Just had TIVO installed at the house with Direct TV. For TIVO to work it needs two inputs. You can record two shows at once but remember you have a dual receiver. It requires a Dual LNB antenna. But you can hook a multiswitch to the dual Lnb to have 4 outputs off the dual antenna so yu can also run your bedroom and/or outside TV.

The techs told me that the landline was necessary for two reasons. One for Pay Per View and the other for programming updates. You can look up in the utility screens and it will tell you when it is going to call out. So you at least have to have it hooked up for that scheduled call.

You have about a 2 week look ahead with Tivo so you can search for movies or what ever you like. It also has a season pass option that allows you to record the whole season of your favorite programs.
