- Cost of refurbishing your old box

Even the person who handled your phone call today needs paying.

Or a more likely answer would be they mis-understood and quoted for an additional box instead of a replacement :confused:

Cost of refurbishing box shouldn't come into it, because obviously that charge will be shunted on to the next person who rents it.

jempalmer - do i need the TOSLINK if i buy this convertor box from amazon ?? If i'm reading it right, it says this is a TOSLINK ??

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neet%C2%AE-D...=2Q28B0QL10PCN

Also is it just a standard RCA male to male cable I need ?? It doesn't need to be anything special does it ??

On the same subject as this: is this the OPTICAL DIGITAL cable i need to go from back of TiVo box, then into DIGITAL-ANALOGUE convertor box ??

No idea, sorry. Don't know a thing about them.

Box will do the job, albeit not at audiophile quality.

The pictures are the right thing, but the page title says analogue to digital. I suggest you contact the seller to check.

Yes, it needs to be digital to analogue. It would appear to be the opposite. Take a look at this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Opti...6150314&sr=1-4

.. It is obviously the wrong title, if you look at the picture it very obviously has phono at the output side.

It is obviously the wrong picture, if you look at the title it very obviously is an analogue to digital converter. ;)

The fact is none of us know for sure. Which is why I suggested to contact the seller. (Better still, do as jem suggests and use Amazon instead)
