I have decided to finally give up on the ET box. It's not just that I'm a slow learner but I really was trying to make it work and while we had cable TV it was a toy, now it needs to work properly as the wife is sick of missing TV programs due to the box locking up and the Tivo box being unable to change channels.
I am looking for a decoder which will output a reasonable signal via s-video so I can record it with my Tivo.
There seem to be lots of threads discussing different boxes and their faults but it's hard to pick a clear winner.
I'm hoping people can tell me (and others) what their favourite box is.
On the nice to have feature list is HD output via component video and Dolby Digital via Optical as my TV only has one HDMI input and that is taken up by the DVD player.
Thanks
Graeme
