I am thinking of getting one since my VCR just died and thought this group would know the answers to my questions. I have CableTV without a converter box which is connected via that thick white coax to my TV. My DVD is connected to the s-video input and I have a second input for the VCR which can be s-video or composite.

What is the best way to connect my incoming CableTV line and the TiVo to my TV?
(this answer may depend on some of the following questions)

Can you record one program while watching another one at the same time?

While recording one program (i.e. Law & Order) can you watch Survivor and if you get interrupted would you be able to continue recording Law & Order but "pause" Survivor (which would record it) so you do not miss any of it?

Can you record a program to the TiVo and watch a pre-recorded program from the TiVo at the same time?

Now for the most important question...
I have an Outlaw 950 in my near future so how would the TiVo hookup work with it and my TV?

Thanks in advance!
