Hi Darren,
Thanks for your input.
Sadly the motherboards of the other 2 TiVos are cactus, one has a weird power supply issue that I have tried to repair with parts from the other spare with no sucess. It went bang / pop one day and I found that a tiny surface mounted switching chip had exploded, I swapped it for the one on the spare maotherboard along with all other suspect parts, no go so I gave up. Im going to try a new image on a hard disk from one of the original backups I made, apart from that all I have and havent tried yet is the power supply board. Maybe the caps are high ESR and there's exessive ripple on the power rails, best I can think of.
Anyway, I scored a cheap used Mighty and so far I am impressed with it, but I will always miss the blip blops of the TiVo after having at least one working for the best part of 20 years now!
Regards,
raff.
