It should be fine as you can set the Tivo's to record based on time just
like you would a VCR. I presume there is no guide data for the satellite
TV reception. Not sure how you get the signal to the Tivo. Does the
satellite reception output a TV signal after you have received it? Perhaps
you would need to use one of the SCART inputs - I think one's an input.
Thanks
