Modulating with TIVO? (1 Viewer)

[Aaron H]

Anyone here running a Tivo thru a modulator? I guess my basic question is how do you get 2 outputs on the TIVO to be active at the same time? I assuming that when you select the output to be used in the Tivo setup, that's the only one active? Or am I wrong?

I have the s-vid outs on the tivo going to the TV. I assume I either need the composite or coax out of the tivo to also be active so they can go to the modulator. Is this possible? How are others doing this?

Thanks, Aaron

On my standalone TiVo all inputs are on. I can output S-Vid and RCA at once.

Jason,

Well, that easily solves the problem. Do you happen to know why setup has you choose the output that you are using? Just curious?

Thanks!

With DirecTivo, there is no setup section to activate outputs. They are all on. I don't have the stand alone model but I do spend a lot of time at the Tivo Community and I have never head of a menu setting to turn on/off any of the outputs.

Yes, sorry, I was referring to the stand-alone Tivo. I'm like 99% sure that when you are going thru setup, it has you choose (even with a nice drawing included) which outputs you are using.

I guess testing the fact that all outputs are on should be easy enough - I just need to find some extra cables.

Thanks for the info!

All the outputs are always on - it's the inputs that you're specifying during setup.

Gordon, dang, you're right. Sorry about that. And thanks for clearing it up for me!
