cachecard: data integrity error (write)

[ccarey]

My cachecard was working fine last time I rebooted - but my TiVo developed a few niggly problems. I rebooted today and the cachecard screen came up with an error after writing about 25%.

I've since rebooted a couple of times but no joy - same error. I haven't mucked about with any settings on the TiVo since last time it worked. Has anybody else seen this or does anyone know how to fix?

thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

The silicondust forums (http://www.silicondust.com/forum ) is the best place for cachecard support.

I had a squiz myself and it looks like someone had a similar problem ...

... and ended up with a warranty replacement of the card. YMMV.

HTH.

Cheers, Dave.
