I had re-started the Tivo on on a couple of occasions as part of the problem solving steps I had gone through before posting with no change. However, on Sunday night, I did a big clean up and deleted a whole bunch of shows including about three months of rage music video. (i have the 1TB extender and it was quite full) Next I restarted the Tivo as per your suggestion.

Web access to Tivo was successful so I tried iTivo and now playing widget and they were back working which is great.

Thanks for your help Peter, I'm very happy to have that functionality back.
