Just to clarify, does it actually pause for a long time and pressing play resumes the playback. Or do you mean the picture is freezing for a second or two.

Hi everyone,
My primary Tivo has developed a strange habit. It goes into "pause" at random intervals. Doesn't seem to matter whether live TV is being watched or a show that has been recorded. It doesn't impact scheduled recording or anything.
Would rebuilding the HD fix this problem?
Hi Pete,
it freezes for a long period until either the play or pause button is pressed again.
Have you encountered this before?
I have never seen it before, and it doesn't sound like a typical HD problem.
How often is it happening?
Have you ever seen it freeze ? if so, does the bar come up showing how far you are though the show with the pause symbol.
Is it possible that some remote or other IR interference in the house is causing a pause signal to be sent?
Peter.
I have seen/heard of this happening when using TivoWeb (v1.9.4). It would not happen that often, but using the Web interface is a possible cause. In this situation the timeframe bar does pop up (exactly like it would if you pressed pause on the remote). The cause could be something hitting the MFS system hard?Originally Posted by DavidH
Like Thompson has mentioned I have also seen this first hand.
I used to be plauged with this right from day one of using a TiVo (a few years ago now) up until recently when using TiVoWEB with all my three TiVo's (and as it turns out one of each Turbonet, Cachecard and Airnet) until I set the ethernet card timing to "failsafe" for a similar (but unrelated) pausing problem.
Go into nic_config_tivo and set the timing to "failsafe" and see if this helps. If you do not have this setting option then upgrade to the latest ssilicondust drivers.

Darren, thanks for your help.
The only options that I see there are:
Current/New Configuration:
mac address = 00:0B:AD:A0:0A:1D
ip address = 192.168.0.5
ip subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
ip gateway = 192.168.0.1
debug level = off
cache statistics = 0 seconds
Ethernet Options
1: Change MAC address
2: Change IP address/gateway
3: Change debug logging option
Cache Options
5: Change statistics reporting
General
9: View/extract log file
0: Apply and exit
!: Exit without saving
Can you give me some pointers where to look from here?
My option #1 is "Change Timing Setting"
What version of the Silicondust drivers are you using, or alternatively what release oztivo image are you using (ie R1.?)

Darren, the drivers would be whatever came standard with the Oztivo 3.0 image current as at 1/4/2005.
Looks like I will have to update the Drivers
Darren do you know if using the latest turbonet installer from SD will corrupt the OzTiVo image?
I know that running the Cachecard installer Causes all sorts of headaches, and results in a TiVo that won't boot.
Just thought I'd clarify, before David tries your suggestion.
Peter.
