Aux bypass not working with sky+hd

Postby cerihp » Sun Feb 22, 2015 11:29 am

Hi.

I've just upgraded to Sky+HD, as it was cheaper than getting someone out to look at my faulty Sky+ box! Guided setup went fine and everything is working as expected, except that I cannot use Aux Bypass any more; when I press it the screen briefly flashes up the right image, but then the TV switches to its internal tuner, as it doesn't think it is getting a valid signal from TiVo. I can watch live TV through the TiVo, and recordings are fine, it is just bypass that isn't working.

Anyone else have this problem, or any ideas?

Thanx!

Hmm, sounds like "scart control" isn't on in the Sky+HD settings?
Services / Settings / Picture. Set Scart control to "On" and Scart video output to "RGB". These probably aren't defaults.

I bet recordings are being made from the Sky+HD box's composite output as well, as without the scart control being set it doesn't know to take the RGB signal. But it might be hard to tell the difference.

Brilliant. That's done the trick.
