Heck, it's right up my alley.Here's hoping that since it is one of the better known converters (at least in my area), it will be supported by the time the TiVo update rolls out... but I'm not holding my breath.

I wonder if that has to do with the legal tension between TiVo and EchoStar, or if they just haven't had time to test it since it just started shipping a week or so ago. Ouch, that’s rotten luck.

Harumph. It’s great that TiVo is taking action on the digital transition… it’s not great that I bought the one converter that TiVo isn’t supporting two months ago.

I run three S2's with both Dish Networks (using the IR connection)and over-the-air.I'm waiting to see how they will support me. With only 1 IR port, I can't see how it will work to control the converter box.I'll bet that I'm screwed when analog over-the-air goes away. I got the same email.

You entered an S2DT, the S2DT does *not* do antenna. I entered an S2, the S2 *does* do antenna. (Except for one model, the 542, which is what they renumbered refurbished 540s as after the FCC cut-off. The 542 had antenna support removed.) I didn’t paste that part because I didn’t get it.

So as far as I understand it the S2DT will never officially support having a converter attached to it using the ir blasters like you would with other S2's and S1's For Ivan Y the S2DT will not work with a dtv converter no matter what because Tivo chose not to put in the stuff for an antenna then due to it being a requirement that they put in an atsc tuner if they put in one then.

My deactivated S2 unit got an error message (something about not being eligible).
