    TiVo is basically a computer, computers slow down as their hard drives fill up and the drives need to do more work finding places to store files.

    TiVo was never meant to be a place where programs are held long term, so it does not run routines like defrag to clean up the hard drive.

    Menus are loaded from the hard drive so that is why they have slowed down.

    Delete all of your suggestions, then all of your deleted items and see if that improves your speed.

    Peter.
    Please search this forum and our Website for your TiVo questions before starting a new thread. Thanks!

    Many thanks Peter, it would be great if the unit did have some routine maintenance tasks which it ran automatically or could be initiated through the menus.

    I had 110 suggestions which I deleted and then re-deleted from "Recently Deleted" - unfortunately the response is still slow.
