I have posted here before mostly asking questions about how I can simultaneously hook up my system to the TV speakers and AVR.
Last weekend I hooked it all up perfectly.
Basically going with components & RCA plugs to the TV and HDMI for Tivo & Oppo through AVR. No problems.
I had an x-series sub on order from AV123. I received that yesterday.
In the meantime I ordered a set of 5-RCA Component A/V Cables. I also ordered another new heavy duty HDMI cable (I already had 2 and ordered the 3rd for DVD to AVR).
Anyway after adding the new cables and sub, I lost the ability to use the HDMI from my Tivo.
I have tried everything, including going directly from Tivo to TV. Nothing.
I tried using the old cables, nothing.
The DVD works through HDMI, but these new cables seem too stiff.
Add the fact that the sub is making the speakers Hum like a mo fo, and I want to cry.
I am ready to pack the whole thing in a sell everything.
My wife brought up the old "remember how happy we were with out old 24" TV and no stereo" thing.
I have been in contact with Tivo-no help
