Hi all,
If anyone can give me advice on how to set this up, i would be forever grateful.
i just got an 811 receiver today, new customer, america's top 120. anyway, i have a sonicblue replaytv, and i'd like to hook it up, not necessarily having it on all the time but i would like it to record once in a while. it does not have component or dvi in, only svid or composite. i also have my home theater system i have from 3 years ago. my question is, what do you think is the best way to hook this system up?
the installer for dish set it up such that the 811 goes straight to my hdtv via components. can i also have an output to my replaytv? help please, thanks!

Run an SVideo cable from the 811 STB to the Tivo, this will record an SD downconvert of the current channel... plus stereo audio cables.
