bad tuner on series2?
Hi.
I have a series 2 tivo with lifetime service. Because of the cost of lifetime service, I would like to repair the tivo if at all possible.
Recently, I started having a lot of pixelation, audio cut-out and stuttering/skipping of the tivo when watching TV, regardless of wether it was live tv or recorded. On recorded shows, the problem stayed the same if I replayed the recording.
I bought a replacement hard drive hoping this would solve the problem (I had been wanting to upgrade the capacity anyway), but after reading more on the weaknees website, I am afraid that it may be the tuner...
My questions are:
1) If the tuner is the problem, is it possible to fix/replace the tuner?
2) if so, can I buy a tuner and replace it myself, or is this a job best left to a professional?
3) What sort of cost would I be looking at for this repair? Would it cost more than the lifetime service is worth?
Thanks
