I bought a house with one HDMI cable running between two walls. This works fine for connecting my TV to my Directv receiver.
What is the easiest, cheapest, or best solution to connect my TIVO series 2 to my Directv receiver and TV?
I can connect the satellite receiver to the Tivo with S-video, components, etc., but I am having trouble converting the output from the series 2 so that it can be sent to my TV.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Would something like this work - a 3-Port DVI Audio USB & PS2 Combo KVM Switch with Cables from Monoprice (image attached from the monoprice website - since I can not post a link).
I am guessing that the Series 2 could connect to this device with USB and the output of this device (and the Series 2) would be converted from DVI to HDMI with an adapter or cable?
To clarify::
A HDMI cable runs between two walls and drywall was placed over the cable for a "clean" look (I assume). There was no coaxial cable or other connection run along with the HDMI.
As a result, I have a HDMI cable behind drywall that enables me to connect my satellite receiver to my TV. However, I would love to add my series 2 to my existing setup.
Any suggestions?
