Long story short - I broke off a pin from the S-Video cable and it is stuck inside of my DirectTV/Tivo unit. If I go buy another S-Video cable, I won't be able to plug it in, b/c the #$%#@#& pin from the cable is stuck in its respective S-Video hole. The pin is not protruding from the hole even a little bit. Obviously, this is a very tiny pin, stuck in a very tiny hole (no jokes, please . . . this is not a metaphor).
Any ideas on how to get it out? Is it possible? Do I need to buy a new unit? Thanks.

Take off the cover, and try pushing it out from the other side with a needle,worse case replace it...rat shack.
