Re: TIVO with SCART
 

Oh I see - you've got nothing at all on pin 8. I thought you just meant it wasn't signalling widescreen correctly.

Got a voltmeter handy?

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

I might have, why is there something I can do?

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

Check the voltage on pin 8 on the back of the box. Put the negative probe on the SCART housing.

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

I will try it when I can uncover the voltmeter from where it's hiding.

Finding out why it dont work wont make it work

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

I wasn't suggesting it would.

Though sometimes it does - ever heard the term "cleared whilst locating"?

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

Why is rgb important? Can't most tvs work both ways?

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

RGB is a much better picture than composite.

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

If it was a choice of connections for a HDTV (which in this thread it is not) surely HDMI would be the best picture!

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

Of course but that wasn't the question

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

Of course, but this thread is about connecting to an SDTV, in which case RGB is the best picture option.

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

I did not make myself clear, I know this thread is about SDTV and Scart, all I am saying is if your TV has a HDMI connection it would be criminal to connect your TiVo by scart that's all:erm:

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

That goes without saying - so i have to wonder why you said it

Maybe you got the impression someone here didn't know that?

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

My Sony TV reports the input as RGB but

1)Doesn't auto switch to scart input and out again when TIVO goes from/to standby
2)Formatting is really odd - get 14:9 if I leave TV in auto, 16:9 if TV in wide, some programmes will switch to 4:3 but most won't.

Re: TIVO with SCART
 

So you are actually getting an RGB picture on your TV, mines a Sony too but no RGB.
