No not tried that, I had assumed the TiVo box had selected the best output, the engineer advised me not change this setting as it may mess up the box, so I didn't,

Im not sure if the TiVo box upscales the picture, i.e.:erm: if you have a 720p TV and set the box to 1080p would it upscale ?

There is clear evidence that the SD on the Tivo box leaves something to be desired there are complaints all over the shop dont try to be hoodwinked by certain people who do not think there is a problem when there certainly is.

I certainly agree with that, and must admit I have been surprised that my comments have been dismissed so easily :erm:

I am looking at the evidence right now,

After fiddling with the setting on my TV for some time now the SD picture is still poor,

And not anywhere near the quality I had with my V+ box using the same TV

Although I accept that what I am saying will not be popular with the converted, it is a problem for me, I had thought that I may get some help on this forum :(

Don't worry Ken , I read forums for both sides of the story and like to read individuals opinions. I'm currently a VM customer but my main TV service is Sky however I would consider TIVO in the future so find all thoughts helpful to read.

Thanks for the comment, my experience with TiVo is as my posts,

It has tremendous potential, and I can well understand how folk would support it fully, but for me having a decent picture is a fundamental requirement of any TV system, particularly bearing ming the outlay required to get TiVo

Think I'll leave it at that, its been interesting, but at the end of all this I still have my reservations about TiVo in its current stage of development :rolleyes:

Clearly some people have problems with TiVo and some do not. You have and that should be investigated by VM. I dont think its a generic problem with TiVo though and probably a bad batch as there seems to be, although I havnt carried out a poll, more people happy with the sd pq than unhappy.

That dosnt mean that there isnt a problem with some installations.

I was quoting you, who does not own a TiVo, not Ken. Ken has a valid opinion on TiVo, you do not as you have no experience with one.

John.
