    So then it's possible that a Digital TV may also not work reliably where you currently are.

    I only asked about waiting for the move because in your last post you said that the TiVo was due to be collected tomorrow.

    Right, have now moved house. Tivo still doesn't work. Won't tune in at all. We'd like a replacement, as per their promise on their TV adverts here. Telecom NZ customer services reps don't think much of the customer service they are receiving from Aus. But despite this, our contract is with Telecom NZ and under the Consumer Guarantees Act, Telecom NZ have to resolve this problem. We're really fed up with being given the run around, and having to deal with an intermediary when Telecom NZ seems "powerless" to make any of their own decisions on this.
    It seems they have no backbone to stand up and support their customers. A standard guarantee would cover this. A standard return to base option with at least one iota of customer care. As we have always said all along. We want a working Tivo. This service (or lack of) has us close to ending all services with Telecom. If a supplier has the confidence in their product, then admitting that we have a faulty box, and supplying a new one as per their advertising promise should not have been a problem. It worked fine for two months, and doesn't work at all now.

    And no, they didn't send anyone round to collect the box on Thursday as they had said they would.

    Thanks for your help Petestrash.

    Thanks Peter.

    Have also spoken to Branch Manager (again) at the Telecom Store that I originally spoke to, and he says he will try again from his end.

    Thanks

    Thanks Pete. Not sure if your assistance gave us this result, but my husband managed to get a replacement TiVo unit at our local branch today. Thanks so much for your assistance.

    We've got through the set up here again with the new unit, and got beautiful pictures. Lovely.

    However, now we have an issue with audio. We are using component video cables connected them all up correctly as per diagram, with the yellow plug NOT connected as per instructions.

    No sound. None.

    What are we doing wrong?

    Help!

    Might sound dumb, but have you connected any audio cables?

    Unlike HDMI, Component is only for Video signals. You need to also use either RCA audio cables (White and Red socket) or an Optical cable (Digital Audio) for the sound.

    We have connected the component video cables, red green blue, and the red and white plugs for the stereo audio -

    Thanks

    Been speaking to the techsupport at Telecom, and after an hour or two, have finally found a solution that works. We've connected the RCA cables only (red white yellow), and taken out the green blue and red.

    Not what the instructions say. Not what we had on the other unit - but for some reason this works.

    Thanks again.

    Ok, that means the TiVo is working fine.

    What you described should have been correct on the TiVo side of things, but you may need to use a different Audio input on your TV for component. Usually there is more than one set of Audio inputs and it sounds like you may have connected the red & white cables to the A/V audio input, not the component audio input.
