TiVo is not compatible with any Dish Network receivers, unless you go all the way back to the early 2000’s and use a TiVo Series 2 that has composite video (standard definition only) input. Dish no longer supports or installs these very obsolete receivers. Beginning with the HD TiVo none of the TiVo receivers have any video inputs and TiVo cannot decode Dish Network satellite signals, so there is no way to view or record any Dish Network programming with the last 4 generations of TiVo receivers.

What a silly article. TIVO and the Hopper aren’t the same system. Sure they both have a DVR but that’s about it.
