I just used the NowNow feature for the first time. Here is the message they sent in response:

Your Question:
Can the tivo hd do 720p over component cables?

Answer from NowNow:
Yes

TiVo HD Digital Video Recorder (DVR)(TCD653080)
Product Overview:
Video output modes include: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i
from: http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?PROD=TCD653080

“Another difference is that the DVD player can only output 480p over component cables while the HD Tivo could (and should) output 720p or 1080i.”
from: http://www.hdtvmagazine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9571

“And the Series3 offers flexible high-def options that maximize its compatibility with HD sets: you can choose to output everything via component and HDMI at a set resolution (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i), so-called “hybrid” resolutions (all HD content at 720p or 1080i, all standard-def content at 480p), or “native” (everything is displayed at the resolution in which it was broadcast).”

Hope that answers your question,
Have a Great Day

Yes, I asked a question for free wirelessly from my Kindle, and they researched it, and sent me the answers to my Kindle wirelessly for free 5 minutes after I asked.

I am falling more and more in love with this thing every day.
