Sorry, the full model name is Toshiba rs-tx20 with tivo. I am still
not clear on how you get the free subscription, by way of an antenna,
it has to get to you somehow? Or does a subscription not mean tv
channels, but more of a tv guide, but not the actual tv program.
When you have a cable subscription, it comes to you through a physical
cable wire to your house. So how do you get the tivo free
subscription? I do have a external tuner box, that can convert to
std def. and the Tivo tv guide, I don't care about. I just want free
channels. This person is selling it for $30, but she does not know
how they work, so I can't as here about it. thanks again.

The free subscription is just a subscription to the channel guide which you
use in turn to scheudle recordings. Without this you are stuck with a hard
drive equilivant of a vcr which you have to preset the chanel and also when
it should record. And like a VCR it will no longer get a signal because it
does not have a DTV tuner in it.. Never the less $30 is a steal for this..
Have you checked how much they are online? Somewhere from $170 - $250..
You'd be ahead just to buy the thing and sell it on eBay.
