"Failed service unavailable" message

[petestrash]

'tmk tcp connect failed, reason = Operation now in progress' generally means the TiVo is already trying to call.

This usually only occurs when a previous call was corrupted and the TiVo got stuck.

Make sure you wait 10-15 minutes after the reboot and then only try one call.

Didn't make any difference i'm afraid

Did you still get 'tmk tcp connect failed, reason = Operation now in progress' after 'CommUtil: connection to host 127.0.0.1, port'

Same error

[petestrash]

It's got me stumped then.

Each time I have seen a TiVo stuck on Communicating, a reboot has always cleared the problem. But while it's stuck you won't be able to make a successful call.

Beyond redoing GS i'm out of Idea's, sorry.

I tried a full GS and at the bit where it connects to the database i got the "Failed Service unavailable" error so i had to pull the plug and do a hard reboot.

This hasn't got anything to do with the proxy problem i read about somewhere has it?

I just tried to get my logs from the emulator by inpuuting my Tivo serial no and came up with a blank?

If this was last Thursday afternoon / early Friday morning then it would be because of the problems at the server. So if you try again now it should work fine.

Your current problem doesn't have anything to do with that problem. It was fixed last Friday morning. Your problem may have been caused by the proxy problem if you re-did GS while the server was unreachable. Currently your tivo is not even attempting to call-out, as it thinks there is already a call in progress.

That would be right as you have not had a slice in the last week.

at the dialling Tivo i got "Failed service unavailable" again

had to do a hard reboot and noew it keeps coming up in maintenance mode so i hard reboot again and it loops endlessly

Looks like my Tivo is a deceased Tivo

I accessed the tivo in maintenance mode using Tiviweb - altered the boot parameters and then reset them and rebooted.
So i got passed that one but i still cant get it to phone in and therefore i can't record anything and funnily i cant watch live tv either?
