TiVo mini in Slingbox pro HD

Try TiVo mini in Slingbox. I set it up and went through the resolution options. 1080i @60hz places the distorted bar at the top of the TV and the refresh lines go down the screen. I went to 1080 @ 50Hz and the line at the top of the screen was gone, but the purple refresh line going down the screen was still there, and you could sometimes see parts of the screen trying to snap with a quick crop To update. and returns to normal. So yes it works but the quality isn't the best. I'm willing to bet anything else on ebay or Revain in this price range will perform the same if not worse. Low resolutions didn't fill the TV screen, didn't even get a chance to try them, the 720p option behaved the same way, but 60/50Hz was the same as 1080 at 50Hz. Glad I tried it. and no, this works with Slingbox. I'd say it's probably fine for use with a slingshot, but I wouldn't use it to hook up to my TV as a converter. This is my personal opinion based on image quality issues. It might be best to use an HDMI splitter, one to split the HDMI signal from the Tivo directly to the TV via HDMI, and the other signal to this converter to turn it into the component signal on the Slingbox. This would probably be the best solution as the main TV gets the best signal and the Slingbox gets a marginal signal that works well enough to use the Pro HD Slingbox.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Update available

Works well for 720p, poorly for 1080p
