Wondering if anyone can solve this mystery.
Setup: older 50 inch Panasonic Plasma HDTV, fairly new (1 year) 55 inch Panasonic LED SmartTV. Both have a Tivo HD hooked up to them
The Tivo HD on the 55 inch started to die, so I upgraded to a new Tivo Roamio.I plug the Roamio in, and after watching it, start getting eye strain headaches, the muscles around my eyes feel tired and sore. I had none of these symptoms using the Tivo HD.
I am using the same television, the exact same video settings, same cable card, even the same HDMI cable, the only difference is the Tivo unit. It is much worse when streaming content, not as bad when watching live TV, and the Tivo menu's don't seem to be causing it to much, if at all. When I use the Tivo HD, I have zero problems.
This is not unprecedented for me, I had previously tried a Roku stick on the plasma and got the same eye strain issues when I watched anything on the Roku stick, yet watching anything on the Tivo HD caused zero problems.
Apparently the TV has the ability to generate an image that bothers me, but only certain hardware actually causes it to do so.
Does anyone know the difference in the video card output used in the Tivo HD vs the Roamio? I tried messing with video settings on the TV, no real difference, I couldn't find any video settings on the Roamio that I could use to change the display.
This occasionally happened with some content on the Tivo HD, Amazon On Demand HD content would trigger me, but Amazon On Demand SD content would not. YouTube videos on the Tivo HD do not trigger me, YouTube videos (the same video) on the Roamio do. YouTube videos on the Panasonic Smart TV (which has the exact same YouTube app that the Roamio has) do not trigger me, I even tried the same video on both devices, TV fine, Roamio triggered. I was also triggered watching videos transferred/streamed from pyTivo to the Tivo HD, even when ffmpeg was doing no transcoding at all.
It's mostly academic since I ordered a replacement drive from weaknees and am going to return the Roamio, but it is quite the (painful) mystery, so I thought I'd throw it out there.Any ideas from the calibration experts?
