Hello, folks. First post so I thought I'd start off bitching. (Just kidding.)
Okay...so my Tivo 2 started doing random reboots a few months ago. I browsed about and found Weaknees, got a new hard drive, installed it, and life was good again. It even got rid of this annoying, stuttery, 3 second digital garbage before the picture would settle in between channel changes (which didn't happen at all the first 8, 10 months of ownership). This was about a week ago.
So, a couple of nights ago, the Tivo locks up and I got nervous and potentially pissed since I thought that life was good. I unplugged it and let it reboot. When it came up again, I got the "software update, may take an hour or more" message. So, I just turned off the TV and let it do it's thing. A couple hours later, I turn it back on and it's back! So, I figured everything was good. When I changed the channel, the annoying, stuttery problem was back.
When I Googled the problem, it took me to a link on the official Tivo forums and I found that a bunch of people got the same problem after software upgrades. This must have happened the first time I got an upgrade and it happened again with the new hard drive. A Tivo rep posted on that thread asking for specific info from people but then never returned to the thread.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone get it solved?
Thanks in advance!
