I don’t know if I am talking to the correct forum on this question but I have found this particular one very helpful so if I’m in the wrong spot let me know and I will move it.
I just ordered my 2nd Tivo this morning and am looking forward to my dedicated home theater finished. I would expect to receive my custom cables and other finishing touches in the next week or so and carpet will be installed next week most likely.
I am figuring how I plan on hooking my components up and a few questions are raised. My receiver while a bit older is still top notch with me and I cant bring myself to get a new one (at least not in this HT). The only problem is it does not contain component jacks so I need to run directly to the TV (Mits 65 HD RS) with them.
My components and possible connections are as follows:
VCR- RCA only
DVD1- Component / S-Video / RCA
DVD2 (This is being used for the Digital Forge Intro but eventually it will be a 400 dvd changer for my movie collection)- Component / S-Video / RCA
SAT HTDV- Component / S-Video / RCA
Tivo- S-Video / RCA
I had originally hoped to connect the SAT to the Tivo like I do in my bedroom but then I would be giving up the quality of the component video.
Or do you have to flip sources between Tivo and Sat? if you do that then how do you connect them so Tivo has access to the Sat box?
Questions, Questions….. my head hurts.
