After almost 7 weeks and no cable, no internet.  And 3 missed appointments which I stayed home from work.  I am done and force to look at other options to redesign around when I had a working system which I owned the hardware too.

>Jim,
>>So for clarification, as I am learning all this, apparently its Direct TV we have purchased thru.  Finding a DirectTV standard Reciever with Composit R/W/Y is not hard.  It’s the HD-PVR which is becoming difficult.  Most have HDMI, S-Video, and R/G/B (video)
along with R/W (audio).  So I take it this is why your suggesting I find a Gen1 box.

I'm a little lost -- are you having a hard time finding the directv box with component out or the 1st Gen HD-PVR with component in?  Component is often labeled differently on different hardware, and even with different colors. What model DirecTv receivers are you looking at?
