I have used a TIVO series 2 with an OTA for the Oscar show parties for the past two years. We stop during commercials for costume contests, music, etc and then can start without missing any of the show. We use a video projector.

When the switch happens in Feb, what problems will we face. Is there a certain converter box we should get? Will the TIVO no longer work with OTA?

if you are on cable it will work as before.

if you are on an antenna you need a converter box.

the tivo has the ability to control an external converter box (it can be configured to do so with a cable or satellite converter, this would work the same way)
