  • Is there a Standard Def TiVo with component output?

    We are waiting (and waiting, sigh ) for the new TiVo DirecTV High Def DVR.

    In the meantime, we have a standard definition Hughes Series Two TiVo DVR, but it only has RCA and S video outputs.

    Given that my DVD player has component (even though standard def) and my home theater receiver has component connections (as well as RCA and S video), I would like to have a TiVo DVR that also outputs in component. As I understand it, I cannot have the output come from the DVR to the home theater in one format and go out on another format. The chain has to be the same.

    Unfortunately, my TV only has HDMI, component and RCA inputs, no S video. So I'm stuck now with RCA cabling. I would like to at least update incrementally to component video cables.

    Is there a Standard Definition Tivo DVR for DirecTV that has component output? I can't find anything about this on the FAQ's.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry to say, nope, there's no non-HD TiVo with component out for DirecTV. There are units with DVD in them but they'd need a separate DirecTV receiver so you'd lose enough quality that you wouldn't really get anywhere. For reference, those units are here:
