    TIVO stuck in "Almost there..."

    I just replaced my HD with one from WK in my Tivo HD DVR. When I plugged it in, it goes to "Powering Up" and after some time, goes to "Almost there, just a few minutes more" So far I have waited over one hour and nothing more happens. Searching the forums, the answers keep saying a "Bad HD" but this is a new one from Weakknees installed today.

    What do I do next?

    just curious have you powered it down and then tried again ?
    Try unplugging the TiVo, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in.

      Yes, I have "rebooted" a number of times. Also held the PAUSE button for a kickstart but that did not work. Disconnected the wireless antenna and booted to no avail. I just got this hard drive from Weakknees so it has to be a good one, right?

        If you post (or email) your order number and exact TiVo model number, we can tell you more.

        This behavior is exactly right if you have a TCD648250 but ordered for a TCD652160, or vice versa.

          Out with the new, in with the old

          I took out the new WD Hard Drive from Weakknees. It just did not work. I re-installed the older, smaller HD and it again works fine, so not a power supply problem, must be another bad hard drive. How often does WK send bad products? I have bought at least two Tivos and one other HD from them, but I am fearful of the quality. It is a pain to do all this troubleshooting, etc. My whole Saturday is shot (oh, poor me!)

          Would like anyone's thoughts on this.

            WK-Michael response

            Thanks for your quick response. The order/Invoice # is WK-725684 in the last 10 days or so. The model is TCD652160. I have ordered a lot from WK so you should be able to look me up. Thanks.

              Got it - that's the right model number, so we need to get it back and see what's up with it.

              See your email for more info. If you want, we can send out and advanced-exchange to minimize the downtime.
