  • Humax DVD Unit possessed - Random Blooping

    Humax DVD Series 2 Tivo has just begun randomly blooping through menus - making it impossible to watch shows, it will cause it to record shows, etc.

    Have replaced batteries in remote, made sure other remotes have been removed to eliminate them as the cause.

    The Tivo remote is NOT activating at the time of random bloops - seems to be limited to the tivo itself the orange light lites up just as if someone were clicking the remote.

    This has unfortunately made the Tivo unusable.

    Is this repairable?

    I've looked through the hardware forum and have not seen a similar post but I would guess it might be an IR problem - would a faceplate replacment fix it?


    Thanks

    Try unplugging the unit and plugging it back in.

    Also try removing the remote from the room.

      Did unplug and replug - one of the first things we tried

      Removed batteries from remote and still random blooping.

        Sounds like IR interference in the room.

        My guess is that another remote is stuck somewhere with a button down, like under a couch cushion.

        If you can't find one anywhere, try using the unit in a different room and see if it still makes the noise.
        Been here a long time . . .
