I have a Pioneer dvr-810h-s dvr with basic tivo. I'm trying to figure out how to connect a Samsung SIR-T150 hd over the air hd receiver to it. right now I am just connect it from the audio/video out of the hd receiver to the audio/video in on the dvr...

and the I've tried both the audio/video output of the dvr to the hd tv or the component output of the dvr to the hdtv. When the Tivo service runs,, it scans the channels and I can see it finding the channels by the right numbers but when I click 'Watch Live TV' from the Tivo menu.. it shows the black screen and says what is supposed to be playing but then no video shows up and the dvr says it can't play the video. Can you provide any assistance / suggestions in resolving this?

When I had connected the hd receiver strait to the tv it works fine.. I get about 8 or 10 channels.. etc... the tv is a sharp aquos hd tv

there is a s-video out on the reciever but I don't have a cable for that.. I might order one online if that will solve the problem...that would let me got between the two boxes with the svideo cable..

There's also a rgb dvt out.. on the hd receiver .. looks like a 15 pin vga port or something like that.. but I don't know where that would connect to the dvr..

And there is a switch that says component or rgb out I am keeping that in component for the output to work..

Any help/suggestions?
