I have found this somewhere. I hardly use tivoweb. where can i disable it?

My TiVo occasionaly stops responding. What could be wrong?
Under version 3.0 of the software there is an issue where the system will stop processing remote events. This seems to be caused by a process that hooks into the event system and later stops responding or is unable to process waiting events. It is commonly known as the '3.0 event bug'. To help reduce the risk you may wish to watch what TivoWeb modules and utilities you run. Modules such as 'Phone' hook into the event handler to perform various tasks. It also seems to happen more often after heavy use of a remote control which also implies that a process is not able to clear its queue before hanging.

The TiVo will still record programmes in this 'non-responsive state', it will just not repond to events (such as those created by the remote control). The system can be fixed by either killing the hung process (if you can determine which one it is), or by rebooting.

One of the known causes of the event bug is IR overload, but this is not just TiVo's remote we talk about but any IR signal from any remote or IR source. The TiVo tries to decode them all and they all get added to the queue for processing. It could be that something in your room is producing excessive IR and overloads the TiVo. It may be worth covering the eye at the front of your TiVo for a few days and see if improves your uptimes.

With all the different results and uptimes that people report it is suspected that there must be some hardware issues which causes the same software to act so differently on different TiVo's. Some people had success in curing problems by replacing their power supplies.

If you don't use TivoWeb often, it is better to disable it and start it as-needed. Reloading TivoWeb frequently (i.e. in a cron job) seems to increase the time until lock-up. This shows that TivoWeb is at least partially responsible for this problem.

From comments made on the Australian mailinglist it feels like the minority running the ozTiVo-image have uptimes of over a month and the majority have uptimes of 2 to 4 weeks. Which is liveable. Even a series-2 TiVo with minimal hacks installed, only averages about a month between reboots. Some people reboot their TiVo's each night in a cron-job to reduce the chance of a 'hanging' TiVo.
