Two calls to Dish Network have said no not at all and yes but you lose the functionality of Tivo. So does anyone here have an answer?
As a former Dish customer, you can connect the Tivo, but you'll have to take an analog feed out of your Satellite receiver & control it with IR or UHF (depending on the model). Everything internal to the Dish receiver is encrypted.
Depending on what you need from Tivo, you might be happier with the Dish PVR.
