I just got a Comcast digital box (6200) and I can't seem to get my Tivo to see either svideo or composite coming from the Comcast box. I am in Guided Setup and it says there is 'something' on the video and svideo inputs but on the next page the background is black. When I pipe the composite over to my VCR it shows there is video there. I have a Humax Series 2 (560... I think). Any ideas? Defective box? I've never used these inputs until now.

Edit: while waiting for help I decided to try some things. I restarted Guided Setup and chose DirecTV this time. This is what I did before for my OTA HD box to fake out Tivo since they still don't recognize OTA boxes as a viable signal source. Anyway, the video inputs worked when I got to that step. So I restarted Guided Setup AGAIN and selected 'digital cable box' like the first attempt and suddenly the video works. Go figure...
