My Tivo kept freezing up so I assumed the hard drive must be going bad. I just replaced my DirctvTivo R10 with a replacement 80GB hard drive. The hard drive I received had a 2005 date stamped on the outside which seemed a bit odd. None the less I replaced the drive following the instructions to the letter and all went well for a couple of days. When I fired up the Tivo it came back alive with no problems.

Now that a few days have passed I find that my Tivo is still freezing up. I still have an image on the screen and it's as if someone hit the pause button but there is no response from the Tivo unless I re-boot it. Any suggestions about what else could be wrong? I'm feeling remorseful that I may have just wasted money.
