OK, here's a mystery I hope someone can solve cuz it's driving me crazy. Don't know if it's a TiVo issue of a cable issue.
My info: TiVo Series 2 (WISH I could afford to upgrade), Samsung 22" Flat screen model UN22F5000, Cisco Explorer 4642HDC digital box from Time Warner.
My tv finally gave up the ghost and crapped out on me so I upgraded and purchased an HD flat screen TV. After replacing my digital cable box with an HD on from Time Warner I hooked everything up and turned the TV on. Picture was grainy. And when I transferred a program from one room to the other, it had as very low volume (which could not be turned up) and even grainier picture. Not knowing what the problem was I called Time Warner and they sent out a technician. I honestly don't think the guy knew what he was doing. But he managed to change some cables around - connecting the TiVo to the TV with the audio / video cables (red, yellow and white ones) and telling me to watch the HD via AV source, not TV. This worked! Perfect picture. The sound problem I fixed by putting the volume up all the way on the TV (unable to adjust volume of the cable box) and plugging in a pair of computer speakers and turning up and down the volume in my room that way.
The Mystery: Now some of the shows I record are muted. The TV is NOT muted and it doesn't happen EVERY recording. It's a crap shoot if it'll record with sound. With the recordings that are muted, I have not been watching to know if the TV is muted when recording or if there's sound but records muted. I've made some changes to the cables hoping to fix this issue.The TV is now connect via the audio / video cables AND the coaxial cable. When I first looked I saw that the A&V cable was only going IN on the TiVo box and OUT from the TV so I also connected another set of A&V cable to go from the TiVo to the Cable box. None of this fixed the problem. Still record muted sometimes. I checked my suggestion folder. I had three programs recorded back to back. I checked the top one (recorded 8 - 9 am) and it had sound. I checked the next one down (7 - 8 am) it had NO sound.
Is this a TiVo issue or a Cable issue? I have no idea. This all started after I purchased and connected the flat screen . Can it be the Cable's issue? But it's TiVo that does the recordings so is it a TiVo issue? I'm at a loss....
Anyone have any ideas?
