  • Buzzing Tivo-Time to go HD?

    I have a series 2 Sony T60 Tivo which I upgraded to a bigger WeaKneeshard drive a couple of years ago.

    Recently it has started buzzing (vibrating). It's so loud that I've had to sit it on four of those air-filled packing pillows (it looks like a Hovercraft), yet it's still too noisy to be much fun.

    Apart from that it works 99% of the time, but lately it has occasionally begun to turn itself off and needs to be rebooted.
    Additionally, very occasionally it will record a given selected program as just a black screen with no audio. Is it telling me it's had enough?

    I bought the Tivo some years ago and paid for its lifetime subscription.
    Now I'm considering these problems as maybe a reason to upgrade to an HD Tivo.

    Hopefully, there's some way I can make the best out of the rules and deals surrounding this 'opportunity' but I find it all quite confusing.

    Can any kind soul steer me through this fog? Oh! I'm also a DirecTV subscriber.

    Thanks.

    Sounds like you might just need a new fan, assuming you swapped the factory drive out for a new one and didn't just add a second drive a couple of years ago.

      That's interesting because yes I did swap 2 years ago (I didn't add a drive).
      So where would I get a fan from please Jeff?

        Sorry Jeff, that was very lazy of me - obviously I'll order it from WeaKnees.
