X-box delay when Tivo is on - Help :) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hite Reporter · 10-19-2004, 02:15 PM

All,

Anyone run into this problem? My x-box has a 2-3 second responce delay whenever my Tivo is on. I have tried using RCA jacks into VCR, Tivo and even directly through a RF adapter.

I can shut down my Tivo each time, but that is a pain.

Any thoughts would be apprecaied.

There's always going to be a delay if you're running the signal through your Tivo, because the Tivo is actually recording 1-2 seconds ahead when you're watching "live television", and what you're actually watching is the recording. I have the same problem navigating the menus on my cable box.

The only solution is to not run the XBox through the Tivo. If your TV has multiple input jacks, just use Input 2 or whatever. If you don't have multiple inputs, you'll need to get an A/B switch, so you can choose between input from the Tivo or from the XBox.
