TiVo : A couple of Questions!

Ive just got TiVo installed and although im really enjoying it there is one thing annoying me. In the audio settings i have the option of either Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital to PCM, if i select the DD option then when using my TV speakers i find the audio to be far lower on the HD channels and on some of my recordings, in fact its so low that i have to crank the volume on the TV upto 3 times what i usually have it on. If i select the DD to PCM option the volume levels are fine.

I wanted to use DD for when im using my Sound System but i also have to use the crappy TV speakers a lot of the time due to family members being in bed etc.

So does anybody else have the same problems, any suggestions?

Also can anybody suggest a good all in one programmable remote that would control my TV, TiVo and Soundbar and still allow me to use most of their functions? (Not to expensive mind! )

Cheers!

Look at the Logitech Harmony range. I have a harmony One and a 555 and they perform well. they aren't cheap though.

As to sound levels for HD there isn't much you can do and you will find that the levels on different channels will be different and even for programmes on the same channel.

Yeah, I used to use Harmony 300s they were quite good for the money (~£15)
