Set one up through the RCA/SVid input and one through the coax input. You should be able to tell the Tivo that you have 2 box sources. The one limitation is it can only change channels on one of them =(
Basically what this means is not yet.

I'm pretty sure that you can't tell the Tivo that there are two boxes. I've tried and failed. What I did was I set it up the same way, then manually changed the Video source for recording every time I wanted to record a single event from the black box. However, a few times I forgot to change it back, and it messed up my recordings.
