I think you have a compatibility problem between the TV and TiVo. Is the TV connected directly to the TiVo or does it go via an amp or switch. Try direct if it isn't already.

Does it happen if you don't put the TiVo into standby?

I can explain that one. Whilst the TiVo is waking up, it briefly drops the HDMI signal. When your TV sees the signal go, it automatically switches to a different port. Does it stop happening if you unplug the SCART lead?
