Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I haven't looked at it yet, but have no doubt it will be nothing more than a few trailers for the show, along the lines of the true blood app. I'm a fan of the show (Walking Dead, not True Blood), and even I can't work out who fx think these apps will appeal to.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I think TiVo is in need of some "killer" Apps now.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Hi
Just had TIVO installed and can only get sound through SCART connection. Have older HD TV which has DVI connection. Bought 3.5 to Optical connection but still no sound, tried changing Audio from Dolby to PCM on TIVO. Kinda out of ideas and would greatly appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

'3.5 to Optical connection' will still be optical I reckon as it would need a lot of conversion from optical to 3.5 analogue which a cable itself wouldn't do

Most people who have a DVI only telly use a SCART to RCA/3.5 connection for audio

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Thanks Ben. Guess the installer didn't give great advise. Any ideas what I would require?
