    TIVO Problem

    I've run into a problem with my TIVO that crops up on occasion. When it automatically changes channels before it starts recording, about 25% of the time when it's changing from a station in the 500's or higher, it will not go to the proper channel. I'll wind up with "The Shopping Channel" instead of Fox or Cinemax. It only seems to happen with the high channels. Do any of you have the same problem?

    The serial connection from my digital cable box doesn't work, and I've spent hours trying to find the right speed/range to use on the I/R channel-change and this is the best I can come up with. I've put a "cap" over the I/R blaster and the I/R eye so extraneous light bleed isn't an issue. My unit is about a year or so old, and isn't one of the DirectTV combos.

      The only thing I can think of is to make sure the Tivo IR emitter is lined up with the sensor on the cable box, other than that all you can do is fiddle with the timing, or get a better cable box (some of those boxes the cable companies foist on us are pretty lame).

        Hi. Hope someone may have some insight as to the trouble I'm having. All has been working fine for quite some time until this weekend. I normally watch DVDs on my Rotel RSX-1055 & RDV-1050 and that is all. This weekend I decided to listen to a CD which worked fine. I did change manually the...

        RSP 1570 HDMI handshaking Issue With Tivo?
        by fhsun
        I recently exchanged my cable/DVR box for a Tivo HD. The cable company installed 2 Cable Cards in the Tivo which eliminates the need for the cablebox.

        I connect the RG6 cable from the wall directly to Tivo, then the Tivo directly to the RSP 1570 via HDMI.

        I am occassionally...

        The image for satellite, looks kind of like a film that isn't filling the frame quickly enough. not rolling, just sort of like a strobe light really, flashing bright then dark, fairly...

        TiVo, An Early Adopter's Tale
        by Lexman
        Folks, it's been maybe 8-10 months since TiVo was introduced, on the heals of Replay TV. At least Replay was advertised as " Coming" , some time before I had heard of TiVo. Actually, I think the first I heard of TiVo, was the night I bought mine. How's that for a spontaneous...
