Are the HDMI, component, and composite connections all active at the same time on the Mini like they are on the full TiVo?

I only use the component. It is logical that they would all be active but I have not tested it. You may want to ask TIVO - they are very helpful.

Yes they are. I have the component, composite and HDMI all plugged. in. The only problem I have found with the MINI is that if you purchase a movie on your main unit - you can't watch it on the MINI (it thinks it is a different unit). It is a definite FLAW and should be disclosed in their advertising. I trust it will be fixed.

I don't know. I am just using the HDMI connection to the TV and the MOCA COAX connection to the network.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping the receiver would allow a pass-thru or something if the receiver was powered off. Hopefully, I can map the on/off on the receiver to my Tivo's on/off.

The HDMI port is only active when playing a previously recorded video and not live.

Yes you can shared AV component input. Yes AV composite input. No picture in picture mode

I'm using RCA audio and video input jacks. There are also HDMI, coaxial and S-video output jacks.

Yes the SDI output just passes the signal through. I have 4 linked together via SDI and each outputs to the HDMI and sends the signal to the next converter without issue.

I actually have the same question. I can say that for a while I was using a HDMI switch and didn't have any difference in lag with it or a straight connection so hopefully this will be the same.

no looks like you need a regular hdmi to hdmi connector NOT a Mini !Good luck:0

Yes. I have mine connected to the output of my AVR (AV receiver), splitting to a projector and a TV. I've had both running at the same time, no problem.

No, this converts component input to HDMI output. This is for DVD players and game consoles that use component cables. What you need is an HDMI to COMPOSITE (RCA yellow, white and red cable) converter, or just a composite cable for your Tivo.

I only use mine now to switch to my dvd player when needed, so this hasn't been an issue for me. I got mine when I had my dvd player and older Tivo on it....and don't remember ever having any problems...it worked great for me...

No, only one will be active. The mini jack connection mutes the RCA connection.

I recently purchased this device intending to connect both composite(for an old VCR) and component(an old DVD player)because my new HDTV did not have both inputs. I opened the package to find that the instructions say that you can connect either all component OR all composite cables. You CAN NOT mix the two types of devices

That's correct. One side controls TV/av and does not light up, but there's very few buttons on that side to remember. Htpc controls on the other.

All the connections for the prosumer version are in the back of the unit. Plus there is an IR extend input that is not the Premium version. The previous unit I owned was similar to the Premium and when it was connected it looked like an octopus. HDMI cables are not very flexible so the only way to make it look neater would be some type of pivoting HDMI plug that would enable the cables to feed towards the back in a neater fashion.

I don't notice any significant lag. It connects wirelessly instead of via infrared. That may help reduce the lag. I'm running it on a TiVo Premiere.

HDMI connections are actively switched in the unit when it's ON. There is no "standby" for these connections to pass through passively when the power is off.
