I suspect that it is possible - a similar product is marketed in the UK - though for a slightly different purpose. Here a number of companies have produced little daughter boards that tee-off the YCrCb digital data from ICs in DVD players and Digital TV set-top-boxes to add serial digital outputs (i.e. 601/656 SDI) for connection to broadcast and high-end professional gear - so a similar solution might be possible to add analogue component (i.e. not replacing the existing output chip but adding a secondary one?) It isn't the sort of soldering and addition I'd like to have to do though.


I think that I was pretty much thinking of adding signals rather than replacing the existing chip.

But you're right, it looks like it could be a fair amount of soldering. This might be the sort of upgrade where you'd want to send your box in, rather than try it yourself.

(Luckily us UK Tivo owners have RGB in and out on our Tivos - though we don't have S-video connectivity. This is mainly because most UK digital TV set top boxes and TVs have RGB I/O - but few STBs have S-video)


This is what drives me nuts about worldwide markets. I would much rather have RGB in/out than S-Video. Of course, in the UK you don't have DirectTiVo boxes, do you?
