You say it slows down? It shouldn't, but I'd try a couple of things first since they're both microprocessor controlled units. If it were up to my, I'd unplug each unit for about 10 minutes and then let the systems reboot. It's what's commonly known as a `hard reset'.

Each system, the cable box, TIVO and TV have computer controlled micro's in them and each one has its own proprietary operating system embedded into the micro. Many times, and just like a home computer, they tend to hang up or start acting erratically.

Unplug everything and then one by one, plug them back in. Do the cable box first and wait about five minutes, then the TIVO and finally, the TV.

If it's just a case where the sound doesn't sync with the picture (but not on all channels) and seems to be lagging, since the new digital systems use mpeg4 encoding, it's most likely from either the program provider or at the cable company. A few phone calls are in order.

Normal DVD player that is not 1080p is compatible with 1080p Samsung tv?

The proper question to be asked would be: is an 1080p samsung TV compatible with non-1080p DVD players?Probably YES, because most devices today are made to be backward-compatible (ie. be able to play older standards). Only very specialized devices probably won't be compatible, but this information should be clearly stated on the box/in the manual/etc. So read the manual for the TV and check.
