The cable providers in my area offer a low-tier package with a small number of channels and a simple cable box which isn't a DVR. I want to add simple timeshifting capability where I can pause live TV. I don't need the DVR to actually control the cable box and do recordings. All I want is something where I can have the 30-minute buffer to pause, ff, rew, etc.
Cable Box ---> Magic PVR? --- > TV
An obvious solution is to use an RF modulator to convert the component/composite output of the cable box to channel 3 and input that to an HD Tivo. Although that works, the video is downgraded by the RF modulator to NTSC format and looks poorer than if I just had the component going straight to TV.
So what I'd like to find is some sort of DVR/PVR which takes component/composite input and outputs HDMI. My hope is that device would preserve 100% of the component resolution when it converted it to HDMI format.
Is there any Tivo which can take component input and output HDMI? I know some of the series 2 had component input, but I think they only have NTSC resolution component output and not HDMI. Or do you know of any non-Tivo PVR/DVR which can do this?
ETA: When I tried to use my Series 2 Tivo do to this by going cable box->component in, the video shows up as 4:3 even though the input video is 16:9 if I have it go straight to the TV and it seems to have less resolution.
