made a previous thread about precursors to this problem here:

Now I have the official tivo brand wireless adapter and its not working. My unit does not start with it plugged in, it will just hang indefinitely on the almost there screen. When I plug it in I have about 10 seconds until the unit freezes with whatever is on the screen and becomes unresponsive indefinitely. If I do not plug the adapter in the tivo unit will work fine. This is driving me nuts.

I just got off the phone with Tivo and they let me know about a problem they have seen for the past week. My tivo hung and needed to be rebooted and when it came backonline it said it would only partially work until I activated the tivo. I was able to watch recorded shows and go through the menus but I could not watch live tv. I also was not able to connect to tivo, but I had an IP address.

Tivo said this is a problem with Tivos that have lifetime service only. They had me try the following steps and it fixed the problem.

Tivo Central - Message and Settings - Restart or Reset System - Clear Thumb Ratings & Suggestions.

Tivo rebooted and then worked. Hope this helps

Hi-

Just got a new TiVo XL, one M card.

On several stations tonight, glitches every 5 minutes... pixelization and audio dropouts.

This happened a year ago when I tried HD, I truly thought it would be fixed by now.

I have excellent signal... what the heck is causing this, and is there anything I can do?

Thanks!

Solid Episode from start to finish...really well acted...not sure about Young's reluctance to put someone in the chair, though...it seems like it would be a logical next step...

a more reasonable approach would be to set some time (a month, for example) to research the room the chair is in and all its consoles and then look for someone to volunteer to sit...

My tivo is showing FX on the channel that should be ESPN. I have a number of other channel issues but this is the one I'll focus on. I called Comcast (3 times) and swapped out my CableCARD. It has been reset twice. My tivo is a Series 3 HD DVR with with the add on HD. The signal strength is fine. My Comcast DVR downstairs shows channel 173 (ESPN HD) just fine. so It's not a signal issue. Having replaced the CableCARD, it's unlikely to be the CableCARD that is causing the problem. Some channels are coming in just fine on the channel number that they are supposed to be on. Some channels aren't coming in at all (like 31 - ESPN non HD, 66, 67). HBO is coming in fine at 547 and FX HD (665) is showing FX like it should. I thought about doing a channel scan but not an option with a CabekCARD. Any suggestions? I looked at "wrong program information" from "nachoguy50" but he didn't think his problem was with his Tivo and I didn't want my comments to end up on a dead thread. I think my problem is with my Tivo. Signal strength would cause channels to move around, I've seen the behavior on two cards and my comcast DVR is running fine.

I checked Tivo Support again, checked the OOB - it was fine, "Channel List Received: No" so I called Comcast again. The tech didn't know what I was talking about but after a half hour, we decided to have a tech come out to the house. Still interested in any suggestions.

I know CSI: Miami doesn't always make a lot of sense, but there's something that I don't understand about this episode:

OK, the mom couldn't drive without her glasses. Fine. So she has her two kids in the car with her and neither is legally allowed to drive. With that choice, why did she have her 14-year-old daughter behind the wheel instead of her son who at least knows how to drive?

Hi All I'm running Windows Vista 64bit and would like to use streambaby but after unzipped I click the bat file and a window comes up saying 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. I'm a novice so be gentle:)

Would someone tell me about the design of cable cards? Specifically, is there a coax cable from the cable jack (from the cable company) that must connect to the cable card on one end, while the other end is plugged into a Series 3 type TiVo machine? I can't get a knowledgeable CSR with Charter Communications to answer the question. (The phone reps have never seen a cable card - only the technicians who don't answer calls).

If a coax cable does indeed connect to a cable card, does a dual cable card require two cables as would separate cable cards?

Finally, does anyone know for certain if Charter requires the use of a tuning adapter with its cable cards, and if so, does it use a coax cable too/alone/at all? I wish I knew what that looked like. Does one tuning adapter operate both cable cards or must there be separate tuning adapters? Are there any pics of cable cards and/or tuning adapters somewhere in this Forum that I might be able to see what these contraptions look like? Do cable operators have a separate monthly fee for "renting/leasing" tuning adapters?

Thanks in advance.

I've got standard cable and recently my cable provider moved the channels above 34 to digital and my Tivo Series 2 stopped getting them. I still get the basic programming just fine. I really didn't want a box, especially not rent one from my cable company. Does anyone suggest a 3rd party or after market DTA that would, I assume, convert the digital signal to analog and pass thru the analog channels as-is? I'm assuming I could go RF into a box and RF out to the Tivo and still change the channels on my tivo, not the

Tivo told me that I could get an HD unit and this would work. tried it....it doesn't. A card from the cable company is required to do anything with the digital signal. Looking for a good solution.

box.:D

pLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW I CAN OVERCOME WAITING ONE HOUR AND FORTY FIVE MINUTES TO TRANSFER A ONE HOUR PROGRAM TO MY DESKTOP PC FROM MY TIVOHD THIS IS THE FIRST TRANSFER I HAVE ATTEMPTED BUT IT JUST DOESNT SEEM LOGICAL

Hello everyone,

I just purchased a 1TB internal hard drive from Weaknees (my original 160GB hard drive failed) and and I also have an External WD TiVo Verified drive. The external worked fine on the origianl drive and in another TiVoHD I have, but it will not marry on the TiVoHD with the new internal 1TB hard drive installed. It is recognized in the TiVoHD setup and asks to setup and reboot, but I still have the same amount of recording hours after it reboots. (157 HD hours and 1367 SD hours)
Does anyone know the special process I would need to go through to marry the two drives?

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi

I've been wanting a hd tivo for a really long time but couldnt get myself to shell out all that money.

But I am finally breaking down and am ready to buy.

I had dish network in the past (about 2 years ago) and I loved their HD DT DVR but everyone tells me tivo will blow everything out of the water

Here is my situation

1. moved into a condo and get free cable through coax line (please dont flame)
2. I get a bunch of hd local channels i.e. 2.1, 5.1 etc but nothing like espn in Hd but i dont really care about recording the latter in HD or SD.
3. Should I buy one off of ebay with lifetime? Series 3 with upgraded HD go for about 650-700. or should I buy a series 3 from amazon for 230 and get the lifetime service separately on ebay for 340? Should i be scared about people messing with the HD before I get it in my hands?

Please let me know if u need additional info. I've been out of the dvr game for a long time and just would like some advice but I don't trust the people at best buy.

I have a Tivo Series 1 Sony 2000 DVR, and currently have it plugged into the phone line for updates, etc.

I wanted to get rid of my land line as I have a cell.

I have Comcast cable, and wanted to get Comcast internet instead of the Verizon DSL I have, as the cost of the phone and DSL combined is equal to Comcast internet, and it's alot faster.

So, If I get rid of my land line how can I get updates, or do I need them?

Thank you,.................marc

I'm only 10 minutes in, but what I thought was a glitch when the cop shot at the observer turned out to be him actually grabbing the bullet from the air.

Whoa, I love this show.

I was using the "edit" listed below to get higher quality video to my iPhone. In TiVo to Go 2.8 there are now settings for different devices but shows seem dark when converted, and not as nice as the old fix was. Does anyone know if you can edit the new version as you could version 2.6.

Here’s what was posted before that I used:
