yeah, i figured that out.
thanks.
the tivo was supposed to be pre activated (according to the documentation i got emailed to me)
but it wasn't, and i had to go and add it to my account.
...
guess what ?
i got a replacement tivo today !
finally after jumping through many many hoops...
have not set it up yet. ill do that when i get home from work.
guess ill have to email them...
it looks like i have finally got a result with Hybrid.
got an email from them today, and they have finally agreed to replace my unit with a new one.
i assume it won't actually be a new unit,...
ok, im starting to track down the issue.
it seems as if one of the tuners in my tivo is faulty.
i have jumped through all of the hoops that hybrid have asked me to do.
IE: isolation tests,...
finally after my last email to hybrid (in which i threatened them with going to fair trading over their lack of support)
they have answered me. (only took about 3 months and numerous emails)
i...
are there any indoor antennas that are actually worth owning ?
might be worth a try to eliminate the multiple user antenna that the block has ?

yeah, it happens on multiple channels. it's something that is not really duplicatable either.
it can go for weeks with no problems, then all of a sudden, it will play up on several recordings....
tonight, i removed the old topfield from the signal path, will see if that improves things any before i go buy an amp.
also, as im getting no info from hybrid, i thought i would post up the...
thanks for listening guys.
Darren, if it comes to that, you can have the unit, but ill be keeping the two hdd's.
(i can use them in my PC.....)
ill try a signal booster and see if that...
restart the tivo, and leave the web interface alone.
it's the only solution i have been able to find.
im using the latest version of tv suite to edit the files, it works well.
Jason.
my Tivo has had many occurrences of failing to record complete shows, failing to record any audio, and recording pixelated junk.
i have on many occasions emailed and rang the Australian supplier...
thanks for the tip, that worked. all fixed now.
strange, as im the only one here. no one else uses it.
Jason.
i noticed tonight that my tivo is no longer grouping recordings.
it has the tivo suggestion icons next to everything it has recorded, but no suggestions folder.
also, it has two unwatched...
just got off the phone with support.
not very helpful. they say it's a reception issue.
i don't see how this is possible, as it only effects one tuner, and it's only recently started to...
i have just noticed that one tuner is dead.
that's why i have been having recording issues.
if i try to watch free to air tv, then switch tuners through the remote, one of them is all screwed up,...
nope, no extended warranty here.
i got mine direct from the tivo website, on one of their instalment plans.
mines about 10 months old now.
built in obsolescence i say...
it will die one day past he 12 month warranty period. (no extended warranty here)
mine recorded good news week fine. no issues there.
im trying to remember if has only been shows on ten, but i don't think so.
Jason
i have just realised that it seems to happen only when one tuner is busy recording, and the 2nd tuner kicks in to record.
it doesn't do it all the time either. the most recent occurrence was last...
didnt have an external hdd until a few days ago, but this audio issue has been happening for some time before that too.
i bought the external hdd just this last week.
Jason
on top of my other recent issue with the tivo, now it seems to be failing to always record audio.
it has (on more then one occasion) failed to record any audio.
2 or three times now, it has...
i just deleted the program.
next time it does it, ill make notes, and even get a pic of the screen scrubber bar.
Jason.
anyone else notice their tivo failing to record a complete show ?
a few times now, my tivo just doesnt record the entire show.
it stops at some random point during recording.
the time bar at...
thats good news, i do have the HNP though as i transfer shows to my pc and edit / convert to divx files.
