Copy of my previous post....
Have a Series 2 140 hour TiVo. It is about four years old. I recently moved and changed from Comcast to Directv. I did the setup, never got a picture or sound, aside from TiVo screens. I took all the cables apart, etc. I got picture and sound! Yes....Error S03, nooooo! Did reboots, Pause-57s, etc etc, now I have no picture, no sound, and Error S03. I have wasted enough time. Does this sound like a failing hard drive? I have a lifetime subscription so I would like to continue with the unit. Does this sound like it is curable with a new hard drive?


OK, so I got the new hard drive. Easy install as expected. Meticulously went over the cables (I used to be an installer so this is not new to me). Still nothing. No sound (aside from the TiVo feedback sounds), no picture (when I go to video settings it detects a video signal on any input I try). What's next? As you can see from my previous post I had recently moved so I fear there was some sort of board damage. Are there replacement boards? If I get a unit from some place such as ebay can I exchange the guts and keep my lifetime subscription? What about repair? If the minimum repair charge is higher than I would like to pay can I return the drive to weakness?
