I have a Series 2 that I bought a couple years ago not realizing it was only for use with cable or satellite, NOT antenna. That was OK with me then because we only used it for OTA and I was able to trick the TIVO and we were able to get the VHF stations. Now with the digital transition that won't work anymore. I thought I could use the digital converter box like a cable box, but that doesn't work. Any ideas?

Why can't you use a digital converter box like a cable box? That's exactly how Series2 units will work with antenna broadcasts from now on.
You just need to redo Guided Setup once you have the converter box attached.Been here a long time . . . -
In guided setup, there isn't a selection for converter box with antenna. There is only cable and satellite. When I try selecting cable with box, they only list cable boxes for IR control, nothing for converter boxes.Comment

...as I ran into a related problem, though not with a satellite capable Tivo. It's possible you simply don't have the software version that supports converter boxes. This page

has a place to enter your Tivo service number and find out how your Tivo will be affected by the digital transition. My series 2 Tivo does have a converter box option separate from the cable boxes, but you have to have the right software version. I've made a "feature request" to the Tivo customer service. You might want to do the same in your situation.Comment
