A couple of months ago my US Series 1 Phillips Tivo that has been serving me perfectly for a number of years now suddenly lost the sound on new recordings and live TV. (No problem with old recordings and the blips from the menu interface).

I have read and tried everything - even re-imaged my disk.

I am now stuck in the Guided Setup towards the end where it gives the option to confirm the input configuration - the machine spontaneosly reboots at that point.

I am now of the opinion that there may be a hardware problem with the power supply or motherboard.

Is there a Tivo hardware guru in Auckland who can help me? Or does anyone have any ideas about my problem?

Or do I need to pack the whole lot up and send it over the Ditch to Darren King?

thanks
