Does anyone if the Tivo is better than the Scientific Atlanta box when used with a Slingbox?
The problem with the old SA boxes was that they wouldn't output any of the menus or EPG on the scart socket when the HDMI was in use for a TV. This reduced the usefulness of the Slingbox by a large degree. The only workaround was to loop the component outputs but it was a very unwieldy solution if you just wanted a simple HDMI feed to the TV.
