You purchase the Personal TV Receiver and sign up to receive the TiVo Personal TV Service. Both the Service and the Receiver are compatible with cable, satellite and rooftop antenna. The Receiver simply connects between your TV set and cable box, satellite receiver or antenna/coaxial cable. A VCR can also plug into the Receiver to act as an archive device.

The Service works by making a nightly phone call to get the up-to-date program information it needs to function. The data provided by the TiVo Personal TV Service works to identify and record shows that you have specifically asked for and other shows that may be of interest to you. In this way, TiVo is always full of programs you'll want to watch whenever you turn on your TV.
