I purchased an extra remote for my regular Tivo Series2 and didn’t realize it was the DirectTV branded one until I opened the package. Can I still use this with my DVR?

So the tv input button on my tivo remote control works, but when i try to play the dvd it only plays the sound, not the picture. Can someone please give me instructions on how to hook it up properly? Its only the picture that doesnt show on the input.

I currently have direct TV service with a D11 Direct TV receiver. I’ve never had Tivo before, but want to get it. I would just swap my direct TV box for a upgrade with built-in Tivo, but I can not do that as I am sharing the Direct TV service and can not alter the bill. I hear you can add a Tivo box and service seperate from the Direct TV box.

Will the Tivo box control the Direct TV box? I read where you can connect the boxes, but people had problems with my particular Direct TV box (D11) becuase of the usb port rather than a serial port on the back. Is that still a problem or has Tivo upgraded their box to work with the Direct TV D11?

I would like to know that I can replace the Direct TV remote with the new Tivo remote.

Any other thoughts on my situation are apprishiated. Thanks!
