DVR

This is really just a technical question about DVR and digital cable... but I will give the "long form narrative" of my cordcutting quest. (Skip to the end if you'd like.) ------ I'm well along the way to cordcutting: dropped of my FiOS equipment just today, and have been looking at "live TV...

I have an LG TV connected to Vizio sound bar with an optical cord. Our DVR is connected to the TV via HDMI. When changing from DVR recording back to TV, we lose audio. Same issue occurs after pausing DVR. Audio is restored by turning TV off and on again (not DVR or sound bar). Any suggestions?

Hello all, I am aware that the TiVO DVRs are quite ancient and fairly worthless in 2017, however, I saw one at my local electronics store that was about to be recycled, so I brought it home. When I plugged it in, the TiVO booted to a screen that said, "Welcome! Starting Up..." I was actually...

I have a ext.HD filled with programs but my new cable box dvr won't play it. What options do I have?

My RCA TV has a single audio output jack. The audio splitter I got at Wal-Mart that is supposed to work with my TV doesn't fit snugly and the sound quality is awful. It is not obvious how to find the correct fitting audio splitter. The non-DVR box Comcast sent to enable Netflix has no audio...

I have 2 directv accounts in two different states. I want to take the DVR from California and use it in FL where I have service as well. I added my California DVR into my Florida location but I am receiving an error (771) saying there is an issue communicating with the satellite dish. My...

The above picture is what I am looking for. (See the device with ??? on it, that's what I'm looking for) Normally, the HDMI cable will go from the DVR directly to the TV's HDMI, and I will watch TV like a normal person. I'm looking for a device that I can use as a "middleman" of some sort...
