I have see hardware faults cause the issue described, from memory some caps need to be changed on the mainboard.Originally Posted by thomson
Maybe Darren can add to this.

Hmm... that's a little more interesting... my understanding is that there should be very little "processing" being performed on the left/right audio from a STB connection.Originally Posted by arvesolland
I have attached a version of palmod that includes some debugging output. This may help us determine if some software tweaking is possible. I would strongly suggest implementing the failsafe mechanism outlined in this post to ensure that you will never get stuck in a reboot loop when running development palmod modules.

Are you running a CacheCard? If you are then you might like to check the firmware revision of the card. More information can be found here.Originally Posted by arvesolland
It is also handy to know if changing the channel solved the sound issue. For instance, if there is no sound does changing the channel reset it? Have you ever had the sound disappear while watching a show... does it sometimes disappear partway into a show, or always at the beginning? These questions will also help determine if it is a software versus hardware issue.

The sound can dissapear at any time, not just at the start of the show. After the sound cuts out, the video also shows some artifacts and sometimes becomes jerky.
The fact that it also affects the image is interesting.Originally Posted by arvesolland
Have you tried a using a different drive?
Even a small test drive, I think about 2gig is the smallest the image will load on to to see if the problem still occurs.
Also if you want to rule out the network card as being an issue, you can safely remove it for a week and see what happens. You don't show your location, but assuming your in Australia, the best day to try is Sunday after making a daily call. you should have data through to next Saturday.

Hi,
I just experienced a sound loss again yesterday. The video got jerky as well....
I tried up/down in the channels and it worked! Everything went back to normal.
Anyone have any ideas why this happens ?
I did a dump of the kernel log and piped into a grep PALMOD, but nothing there,,,,,,,
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Arve
Yah I've had that.. channel up down fixes it.
It comes and goes (hasn't happened for 2+ months now).
If you extract the video, from memory, there is no audio. I suspect that is why the video becomes jerky.
Are you using a new HDD in your TiVo or is one of the original drives?Originally Posted by arvesolland
When I have seem similar sound issues, it did not affect the picture.
Do you have any spare HDD's, even just a few Gb would be enough to load the image onto and test a few days to see if the sound and reboot issues go away.

'root reboot' - how is this command different from 'reboot'Originally Posted by petestrash
Adding 'root reboot' to crontab as above does not seem to carry out a reboot on my system (V1.5)?
Cron varies between systems... in the above example (usually reserved for system crontab files) it means execute the reboot command as the 'root' user.Originally Posted by argo
This is not expected for the crontab files on the TiVo, so just '05 03 * * * reboot' should reboot the system at 03:05am each day.
