Sudden loss of signal/channels and reboots during GS
Hi all,
I've had a Tivo since June and it's been going splendidly until this morning.
All it would give me is the blue screen of no signal. I have checked the STB, cables, antenna etc and am sure that there is a signal entering the Tivo.
I can watch Now Playing shows but don't get Live TV and can't record.
I tried to fix it by rebooting to guided setup and re-doing my channels, but the Tivo reboots shortly after the first call, in one of the menus where I select my channel lineup (seems to be time-dependent rather than page-dependent).
edit:
And I've noticed a grey line at the top of the screen in the Tivo menus and while watching a recorded show - it's like the whole screen is shifted down a bit.
Thanks,
Andrew
reboots during guided setup
I'm posting here because I really don't want to delete my shows. I've backed up the season passes, redoing GS (if it works) is no drama, but I have a nearly full 300G drive of programs. I've archived some of these but will lose a lot of stuff I don't have room to archive.
Anyway, if there are no other options available, I will reimage the disk tonight as I need the Tivo up and running again very soon.
Due to the sudden and unexpected nature of the loss of signal I'm thinking that it might be a hardware failure, but I'm hoping it is software. The only similar issue that I have found is http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb...d.php?t=310340 but no cause or solution was provided.
