I'm aware that as it stands there is no way for US Series 1 tivo (PAL modded) to decode NICAM stereo in NZ via a FTA PAL tuner. Hopefully work is still ongoing, but I understand it may be a "dead duck".

Which leads me onto my next thought...
My understanding is that the NICAM signal is sent as part of the RF signal which goes into the Tivo. At present the Tivo has no way of decoding the stereo, but...is it in any way possible to "pass through" the NICAM signal so it can be decoded by a Nicam equipped television?

Cheers,
