TiVo power cutting out
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: kymberlie

In September I upgraded my TiVo and have had absolutely no problems with it until this past week. Lately there is a problem with the saved shows having "skipping" in the sound.

The biggest problem, however, has been that the TiVo freezes up and I have to restart it by unplugging the power cord. It's missed several shows and when I checked the Recording History notes it says it was because the TiVo was either unplugged or the power was off. Btw, when restarting, it does the same skipping (think jerky play) during the TiVo intro.

The hard drive is probably pretty full, so I was wondering if maybe it's a bad hard drive issue. Has anyone else encountered this? It's a huge issue, so any help at all would be appreciated.

FYI, the unit is about two years old.

Yep, sounds like it could be a hard drive problem. But you should open up the box and reconnect your hard drive IDE cables and power cables just be sure something hasn't worked loose.
