Default Tech Gurus: Help me setup my tivo!

Ill confess, I have testicles but still don't know a goddamnn thing about home entertainment/audio or how it all works together. My dad purchased a home entertainment system and I just got a tivo. Do i need to splice the cable into the cable box and the tivo or can i just hook up the red/white/yellow wires to the tivo box from the cable box and then from the tivo to the receiver. The audio receiver thing is the main part of the whole unit, it's where everything gets plugged in etc... He got this setup from tweeter, and those fucks are being less than helpful in trying to set this up unless I want to pay $225. [censored] that. So recap: Flat screen which is just a monitor, actual tv is a base unit, goes into audio receiver, DVD/VCR also goes into audio receiver, Where does Tivo go in all this? If I hook it up from cable box to tivo to receiver it would be the exact same set up the VCR has and this is what the tivo directions say also, but the guy at tweeter when he set the system up said that we wouldn't be able to record on the VCR, does this mean then that if I hook up the tivo the same way I won't be able to record? Help.

Thanks.
