Hi guys,

Had TiVo installed yesterday after upgrading from V+ and have to say that so far I'm very impressed.

Just have a query in regards to the video output settings. The TiVo automatically set my video output to 720p. My TV is a slightly older HDTV and I believe that the default output is 720p but it is also capable of displaying 1080i.

I have therefore manually set the TiVo video output to 1080i and obviously the first thing I noticed was that the TiVo menus were a lot crisper and vibrant and ESPN HD looked amazing.

However, can anyone advise whether this will be fine leaving it on 1080i or is it better to go with TiVo auto detect and leave it at 720p? Can't think of any reasons why not to but I'm hoping someone slightly more tech savvy can advise whether this will have any negative impact on anything?

Cheers
