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

My work around is...
Before i turn the TV off i change it to a channel not used by
the TiVo ie EXT3. Then turn off the TV.
Then all works fine for archiving and watching via a second TV.
I have the Tivo connected to a Philips TV via HDMI (HDMI 1 on TV)
and a Panasonic HDD-DVR via the scart (EXT2 on TV)
I have had to feed the Panasonic DRVR to the TV by scart as the second
HDMI was causing to many problems.
