Hanging problems monthly?

[rho]

Hi guys,

I've had my Tivo for about 3 months now and noticed about every 4-5 weeks it would hang (the green light is on but the screen is blank). In these instances I have needed to pull out the plug and it recovers.

Is there a fix or workaround for this? I heard that I could set up a cron job to reboot the Tivo gracefully before it hits the 4-5 week point - are there any instructions floating around on how to set that up?

Thanks in advance,

-Rich.

you could add something like:


00 4 * * 1 root reboot

To /hack/etc/crontab to reboot every monday at 4am (Ensure a blank line remains at the end of the file).

Adjust time/day to suit.

Peter.
