How do I convert an old analog tivo to digital tv?
I just got an old tivo that was made before the dtv switch. So I have to run the antenna signal through the dtv converter box and into the tivo. Because of this, the tivo must be tuned to chanel 3 to view what the converter box is displaying. I also have to change channels on the converter box. So I was wondering if there was someway to take whatever converts the signal from the antenna and put it into the tivo so the tivo thinks it's getting an analog signal.

That depends, what model Tivo do you have?
Series 2 single tuner Tivos can control some models of converter boxes using an IR blaster cable. There is a list of converts this works with on the Tivo web site.
I've done this with both Zenith/Insignia & RCA converters.
With any other analog Tivo you are stuck. There are no converter boxes that convert more than one channel at a time.
If you wanted to spend a lot of money, you could tie several converters into a multichannel RF modulator, which would basically give you a miniature analog cable system that you could manually program the Tivo to use.
There were some model converter boxes with timers you could program separately but you would have to program the Tivo and converter separately.

No longer sure if there are any DVD recorders that file digital signals, but the one TiVo that records digital signals is the most recent sequence 3. All the sequence 2 including the series 2 DVD burners file analog indicators best. I'd doubt there are any DVD recorders on the mass market ready to record digitally given that of Digital Rights administration software that's placed on whatever that can file Digitally. Hollywood does not wish to make it effortless so that you can have a clean digital replica of some thing. They are too worried about you making digital copies of thier fabric and selling it.
