Re: run monitor from new tivo box

Hi Thanks for your reply,what I've got is a splitter that has one inlet and two outlets ,I mentioned switch because I saw it mentioned as being a possibility before I bought the device I call a splitter.I ran HDMI cable from the TiVo to the monitor but found out that the outlet I thought was HDMI is in fact a USB,I read somewhere that new Tivos are doing away with the HDMI outlet ,I can't see a socket that looks like Hdmi on my tivo which is only three weeks old,so maybe what I read is true(new TiVos doing away with the HDMI socket)

Hi Thanks
for your help what I have just got on Ebay is something similar to that on Amazon had your post shown up quicker I would have got the Amazon one.I am a bit puzzled as to the signal coming directly from the feed coming in going to the TiVo will be redirected to the other monitor before it reaches the TiVo ,so how will the picture be diverted to the monitor as there wouldn't be a picture until the TiVo receives the signal?,or will the signal containing the picture be sent from the TiVo ,not the way I have just described?>in case I have explained this badly picture the letter "Y" the single stem of the letter is coming in and the two branches of the letter go one to the TiVo and one to the monitor
