Why can't my TIVO record or see digital channels?
I have a series 2 TIVO box but I can not see any channels above 98. What gives? I know I am missing something. Do the new TIVO's see the higher channels?

Simply its tuners are only analog. You need a digital box to get digital channels above that, or upgrade to an HD model TiVo which has digital tuners built in. A TiVo HD will work fine on an SDTV, but requires a cablecard form your provider to get digital channels (even with an HD set).

I don't think that the Series 2 Tivo units have the QAM tuners required to receive digital cable channels. You'd need a TiVo HD for that. Alternatively, you should be able to hook the TiVo up to the cable box and use the IR blasters to control channel changing on the box.
