Problem is Tivo constantly checks HDMI device at other end (usually TV) is compliant and if it isn't it switches off the signal (causing problems for some on their main TV)

When you turn off your TV the Tivo stops outputting a signal - but (and heres the blooper) - it stops outputting to scart as well (scarts dont need to be HDMI compliant so should keep outputting)

Nett result is that when you turn off your TV the scart output stops as well - so not only cant you use your digisender but you cant even archive your recordings to scart

Haven't tested this myself yet - but if its so it's really dumb

You could just keep connecting/disconnecting the HDMI lead if you can reach it
