I have HD TV & have a Tivo series 2. Can I connect the HD cable box to Tivo with s-video, then Tivo to this with s-video, then this to the TV with HD

Yes this box is exactly what you need. Be aware that you will not get an hd picture on your hd tv using a series 2 TiVo

You would need to hook the composite box 1st then the tivo box if it has the connections, however you may lose some picture quality when finally connecting the tivo to the hd tv. The signal from a cable line is only strongest with the 1st device it is connected too from my experience.

If I recall correctly, DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD are only available when connecting via HDMI, is that what you are using?Edit: Saw your later post. I believe you will need to contact your cable company to obtain a digital cable box in order to obtain HD audio. Without this, the option is not available to you. Make sure it has an HDMI output (most digital boxes do nowadays but some cable companies are still behind the times.) You can get an outside box but you'll still need a cable card most likely in order for your service to be connected. Most cable companies have them as they rent them out for a $2-$10 fee to Tivo users. Again, this is dependent on how monopolistic your cable company is so ask them first.

Some HD boxes come with an Ethernet port that allows wired connection. This box works with most Direct TV types for witeless and injects the signal kn the box through the coax from the satellite. it also has an ethernet port output. Check with Direct TV to be sure it works with the type of DVR you need for your configuration.

I don't have a TIVO, but I think you should be able to use line (A/V outputs and inputs (out from TIVO, in to ES15). That's the yellow, white red connectors. Good luck. Bob in TN

If you upgrade to the TiVo Premier, you can access your antenna channels. You can scan antenna channels during the initial setup of the TiVo. I haven't tried it on my Series 2 TiVo. Sorry.

Yes..an adapter box with ( S-video ) input ports and rca output ports is needed. The S-video cable will run from the output port to the adapter box input port.

You can use it like an old VCR -- record by times etc... But the guide (show listings) will be empty. Also -- if it is a Series 2 the HD will not look great as the TiVo does not support HD.

You should be able to connect the s-video and the audio-L and audio-R to your TV. Good luck.

You should check that the component out (three RCA cables for video plus 2 for sound) from the cable box works for all channels (esp premium). Your TV should have a component input so get some RCA cables and go straight from cable box to TV with component and flip through all the channels. If that works you should be good to go. Also note that HD DVR has an "IR Blaster" to send remote signals to the cable box to turn it on and change channels. it all should work fine but can be slightly annoying to setup.

So then, if I connect the cable using the compnent video cables, it should up convert the regular cable channels, correct?Is that a better trade off than using the HDMI as the connection between the cable box and the receiver?

As Rick stated it will work just fine using the HDMI in and Out ports. Connect your TiVo to the HDMI - In on soundbar and then connect your soundbar to the TV using the HDMI - Out on the soundbar and the free HDMI port on your TV. You need to realize that this will mean that you have to have the soundbar turned on in order to watch TiVo content. If the soundbar is turned off it will not allow the datastream to pass through the device. Also you will have to specify source on the soundbar as HDMI, default is ARC (I believe). It also takes about 3 or so seconds for the soundbar to fully initialize therefore you must make sure to give it enough time before deciding it's not working.

There is a S-Video on it, and it will work with it as well as the RCA jacks.

Not sure. I used this item to be able to hook my PS3 and MacMini computer to the internet after I cancelled my ATT uverse cable tv and returned the cable tv boxes ( keeping the ATT internet). You plug the device into your cable tv cable (in place of the cable tv box) and then you plug your ethernet equipped devices (your Tivo has an ethernet port?) into this device and you are good to go.

You can Not use a Tivo box WITHOUT a Tivo subscription. also, the Series 2 is not HD compatible... just an FYI. Tivo customer service are very helpful with any Q & A as well. I own four and have been a customer for 8 years. just upgraded to HD TiVo boxes and did away with my Series 2 ones.

Geta nHD Tivo and Comcast will install a cable card that will allow you to watch all Hd channels easily. It will also record two HD channels and let you watch one that is already recorded at the same time. The Tivo remote is all that you will need to control it all. Once you go to Tivo, you will never be satisfied with any other PVR, or for TV without Tivo.
