Tivo complains of no signal
I am running an old Sony svr2000 (Tivo series 1) for several years now.
The Tivo signal is coming from a Strong FTA satellite box (video source is the composite jack).
While I was not at home, the children played with the satellite remote, while the Tivo was recording. I can see that on the recording. All of a sudden the recording stopped (they did not touch the Tivo remote).
Now the Tivo complains that there is no signal. This is however not true, as I can see the program if I plug the video jack directly to the TV.
I am running the Tivo with two sources, antenna (source 1) and cable box (source 2). (the satellite box can output antenna signal, and I tried plugging that in as well, with no success).
I am wondering if anyone has an idea for what happened other than a Hardware malfunction (and if that could be related to the satellite box), and if so of a possible remedy.
I have tried rebooting the Tivo of course.
Thanks,
Gideon.

RE: Tivo complains of no signal
Thanks for the advice.
Attached please find the tclient file.
Would have been nice to change the source, but I am afraid
it is too late now.
When I use the MFS (via tivowebplus) to look at the Source object
I find that it is almost empty (unlike in the past). It only contains the following
Connector 1
RFChannel 3
SignalType 1
VariableBitrate 0
Did the fact that I started the Guided setup erase the old values. I distinctly remember
an object with all the channels on the TV box.
Thanks again,
Gideon.
