Also to quickly delete a show press Clear (Bottom left next to '0' on the remote), also when the show is highlighted.

Hope that helps

It does

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

OK so i have an HDD recorder connected by scart which used to work happily with my V+ box. The only issue i ever had was that sometimes i used to get funny lines down the picture, especially when there was a lot or red or green on the screen. I fixed it by going into the V+ menus and switching from COMPOSITE to RGB as a picture output. Problem fixed, lines gone!!!

HOWEVER, I've connected HDD back up since i've had TIVO fitted and the lines are there BUT I can't see WHERE I can flip the switch from Composite to RGB...

HELP!!!!!!

That's because there isn't one as it's already RGB.

Thanks for the reply. Is there anyway around this, tech people. As a tennis fan i sometimes want to record and keep matches and i record them on my HDD recorder and then burn them onto DVD. If there is no way to fix this then I can't do this with TIVO and I'll be going back to V+.

I've had a google and it suggests that SCART on TIVO never used to be RGB enabled but a software drop enabled it??!?!?!?!

HELP (again)

Correct. I thought you needed it to be RGB?

I do mate but i'm still getting the 'composite' fuzzy lines on the screen when looking at the virgin signal through my HDD recorder.

Okay. Well that's just weird I have a Philips DVD Recorder hooked up to mine and don't have that problem. Which suggests it's your other box and not your Tivo that may need a settings change.

Mate, mines a Phillips DVD HDD recorder too...

Can you give me a quick run down as to how you've got your hooked up to TIVO/TV/HDD??? Would appreciate it. I'm going nuts trying to figure it out.

I've been into the Phillips menu and can't see anything that might need swithcing.

Is your TiVo a Cisco or a Samsung, Mobes?

Wasn't aware the Samsung's were available already? I assume they look the same?

Well I just double-checked it for you and it's nothing special, really.

The Tivo is SCART'd to the AUX input
The TV is SCART'd to the TV output

And I have it set to "YUV P-Scan" rather than "RGB" because, for some unknown reason, RGB has a heavy blue tinge to it on my new Panasonic E30B.

I wouldn't have thought so as they're essentially the same thing.

It probably doesn't make a difference, but it's worth considering. I haven't checked the Samsung output recently.

Make sure your SCART leads are plugged in properly. Try a different lead if you can.

There are lots of the 500GB ones being installed now, but no 1TB yet. They look much the same, but with some subtle differences (e.g they have round LEDs instead of square)
