I am having a hell of a time with switching videos on the mits plasmas. I am running the hd cable and the dvd player through the av receiver so i only have one component input, but i can't switch back to video for the tivo.
In other words, I can't get it to go to video 1 every time.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried having the remote macro change the tv to CH 3, then Vidoe 1? Not sure what remote your using...hpe that helps

What Mits plasma do you have? THe codes have changed a bit from model to model.

Current models have discretes (Kinda) onthe remote..... There is a DVD/HD switch and a Video switch. If you have the set setup for only one HD component input (Other is set for RGB) the DVD/HD button will always bring you to the Component input discretely.

THen if you have Video set to "Inout-1" you can toggle between the 2 pretty reliably. Video-1 Macro would be

DVD/HD Input
pause
VIDEO input

and that will set it back to VIDEO-1 as long as it was left on VIDEO-1

HD input would be simply HD/DVD button since it is a discrete at that point.

I think this trick works on all xx20 and xx30 units.

You could also ad the Mits HD-5000 External HD Decode/Scaler as well and have full discrete control.

thanks, that helps.
someday maybe these geniuses will program all buttons with discretes.
