Saturday was the big day. A very nice Comcast technician installed two cablecards and removed the Comcast DVR from my home. While the TiVo cablecard installation went smoothly, there were a few "oh my God" moments. Our conversation went back and forth several times before he understood that the TIVO required two, yes two, cablecards. He also told me, "I've never even seen one of these [TiVo]. Usually it's just installing one card in a TV." Overall, not too bad for thirty minutes and no major snags.
So far the TiVo has been working flawlessly, which is more than I can say for the owners. My wife and I loaded up the little guy with a couple dozen season pass requests, as well as a couple Wish List recordings. A day goes by and we're wondering why the TiVo isn't recording any TiVo Suggestions for us. It turned out that the Wish Lists were going nuts recording things at all hours of the day, so the TiVo couldn't record anything else. Our bad.
If anyone has any TiVo tips, please comment on this post.
