Just wondering if anyone has tried to use the TiVo Premeire with cogeco lately?
I have the tivo premiere and I knew it worked with cable card for the regular cable and over the air. But I wanted to use it for all the cable channels I get so I looked into it and found finally a M-card Motorola for the tivo that was multi stream compatible. It took some doing but I was successfully able to activate it on Cogeco. It looks like a dct2000 to the system so they needed the ua and ma numbers off the unit... ma is the sn of the card. It recieves all channels... but because it is only a one way connection you can not use VOD services that require interaction from the stb to the headend to order. Small price considering netflix etc off the web. I get all the shows I pay for, I can record all my shows and enjoy the TiVo experiance that it brings. The bonus of the Tivo premiere is i can enjoy the over the air hidef content and record those shows as well, plus the Tivo displays the channel information in their guide for both over the air and cable at the same time! Its a dual tuner so i can record two shows and watch a third previously recorded I can pause live tv both cable and over the air. I can stream to any other tivo in the house and enjoy multi room viewing such as you see on FIOS etc.
Bottom line yes you can use a cablecard here in Canada but you do have to work to get your cable card to provision it.
100 percent happy here
