Can I use Tivo with a Direct TV D11 receiver?

Monica Voltin: I am not sure what you mean by you are sharing the DirecTV service. UNLESS you are sharing a service with a landlord or something that has the service and they have a D!! for you to use.I am not positive if the D11 is compatible with a Series2 or Series2 DT (Dual Tuner), I know each of them need to use a Serial Port usually found on the back side of the DVR/Receivers so that it can change channels on the receiver. The Serial port is a small port, it looks like it is made for headphone mini jacks. Are you sure it is not there? All of my DirecTV recievers and DirecTV Tivo units have them. I have use of them in case I need to fix something with the software using the BASH prompt (In case I cannot log into the DirecTivo via TELNET/FTP.If this is NOT the case then you can purchase a UPGRADED DirecTV Tivo and connect it to your coaxials, install the card from the D11, you may need to call DirecTV to let them know you are using a DirecTV Tivo instead of the Piece ! of S-_- D11. If you can hold out for a little while DirecTV and Tivo are working on some deal to fix the DirecTV HR20 boxes with Tivo supplying the software upgrades. You might be lucky and DirecTV might get smart and use the Tivo software for their other units.
