Re: TiVo Picture Quality

Hi,

Ok am having a few issues trying to get my TiVo to save the settings of the Video Output correctly.

My TV is a Phillips 37PFL5522D/05, link HERE

I get the message stating that 720p is the preferred video format for my TV, so if I select this then I get the SD channels at 720p (as expected) but even when I put on a HD channel my TV remains in 720p.

If I go to change settings, I can select 1080i by checking it, but it states 1080p is not supported.

If I go to Test Formats, I can see the display and my TV detects all correctly for all of 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. At the end of the tests, it selects all the formats and now says next to 1080p (25fps, Pass-through only).

So it then allows me to Continue and then shows all the above formats, where I hit Thumps Up 3 times to save. But then it just shows as the Video Output Format [] with nothing in the brackets.

With these settings, I still get 720p for SD and HD channels and my TV remains at 720p.

Any help is appreciated, or suggestions of what to try to get it to switch from 720p for SD to 1080i for HD

I have tried to just select those two from the list it sometimes detects properly and the TV changes between them, but after a while it looses the settings (yet to troubleshoot when/what makes it happen)

Thanks
