Do you necessitate a cable (rogers) box to use a tivo contained by canada?
Answers: Yes, you would need a separate Rogers digital box plus a Tivo Subscription (around $12.95/mth) along beside the Tivo box. Your best bet is to get the Rogers PVR instead as it does everything the Tivo does but contained by a single box. Also it allows you to tape two different digital channel at the same time (the Tivo can with the sole purpose record one digital and one analog conduit simultaneously).
