You can't get HD Component out of the TiVo. The SCART port only transmits SD Composite and SD RGBs. The last box to have a HD Component output was the Scientific Atlanta V+ box. The only way you are going to get HD Component for your Slingbox is to purchase a HDFury HDMI to Component adapter.

I currently have this setup and currently pass the HD Component through the Slingbox before it goes to my TV. At some point I want to go HDMI through to my TV, for that I'm considering buying a HDMI 1 to 2 splitter connected to the TiVo's HDMI output, one output will go to the HDFury, the other to my TV. I'll have to make sure I buy a HDCP compliant splitter.

In conclusion, you will only get SD out of the SCART port, the only way you'll get HD is out of the HDMI port.

I hope that helps.
