I had a look tonight - and have no guide data. I tried a daily call and it failed - number unavailable.
I then looked at the network and see the Tivo not coming up at all on the network? Could this be related to the green screen of death i had last week and it about about to give up? Is it time for a reinstall? Thanks.
Daily call OK, ( now @ 12:45am) just no guide data.Quote:

I only had green screen once. Just a case of off then on, and leaving it overnight to sort it's stuff out. but if consistent, time for a re-install methinks.
I think i need to re-image the drive.
I had a green screen last week - and since then the Tivo has not been the same.
In some ways it's a shame - I have a 750GB drive with some great films on there - but I also have a whole season of Dawsons Creek from 2 years ago - which the wife put there - so it's bye bye!
Can you Telnet to your Tivo, irrespective of what the TV screen displays ? If so, you can copy the files off your Tivo to your PC using TyTool. Once restored, you can copy them back (haven't tried that aspect yet myself). Alternatively, convert to MPEG/AVI, and plonk onto a DVD when you are ready to view. Or watch on the PC screen. I watch quite a few shows (typically fishing shows) on the PC whilst I'm doing other things on the PC. Shows that don't require 100% attention....Quote:

I'm trying to force a daily call though and it's coming up as failed. Any ideas?
2 out of 3 aint bad !
Sure you are not in maintenance mode ? tried a restart / reboot ? Not a hard off/on, but a nice ordered shutdown and restart can work wonders.
did a restart through Tivo Web Plus - made a test call and then made a daily call and hey presto! She's alive.
God bless Tivo - or more importantly god bless oz/nz tivo!
