I forget the model number off hand But I have a 5 year old 55 inch mitsubishi rear projection HDTV. Everything works great until I connect a VCR or tivo/directv box to a standard rca type jack. The HD input is fine and the input for my dvd player (digital inputs)are fine. I connect the other 2 units to the basic input jacks (red white and yellow)and before long the picture goes black and white. After more time passes(minutes)it turns to a heavy pixeled black and white picture. i have tried all of the correct inputs in the tv and used a variety of cables with no luck. The big kicker for me now is my dads 50" hitachi is doing the exact same thing which leads me to think I might just be doing something wrong. Anyone ever seen this or have any advice? Thanks for any info you can provide. I also tried numerous tivo boxes.

I'll give it a try. I have a HDTV setup. But the other day i noticed signal degredation on my panasonic es20 dvd recorder. To cure this I used a CE labs s-video signal amplifier spliter. The outputs from DTV and Tivo seem to lean to a weak, "see hard to copy," signal. RCA connectors are the lowest grade, then s-video, then component, then HDMI. VHS tapes degrade over time. Weak signals make it even worse. If you have importaint tapes, "on non-copyrighted material," that you would like to record to dvd. Think about a signal amplifier. I can't think of one right now. But google a search and there are a lot.
